About this template
This template is used to identify a stub about a carnivoran. It uses {{asbox}}, which is a meta-template designed to ease the process of creating and maintaining stub templates.
Usage
Typing {{Carnivora-stub}} produces the message shown at the beginning, and adds the article to the following category:
- Category:Carnivora stubs (population: 1)
General information
This is a stub template. A brief explanation of these templates follows; for full details please consult Wikipedia:Stub.
What is a stub?
A stub is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject.
How is a stub identified?
- If possible, try to find the most appropriate stub template for the article. A full list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/List of stubs.
- More than one stub template may be used, if necessary, though no more than four should be used on any article.
- Place a stub template at the very end of the article, after the "External links" section, any navigation templates, and the category tags. As usual, templates are added by including their name inside double braces, e.g.
{{stub}}.
Further information
Further information can be found at:
New stub templates and categories (collectively "stub types") should not be created without prior proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This allows for the proper coordination of all stub types across Wikipedia, and for the checking of any new stub type for possible problems prior to its creation.

The mammalian order of Carnivora includes 231 species in 128 genera and 16 families, though the number of species and genera has been known to fluctuate due to the fact of new research constantly being done by different experts. Carnivores are most diverse in member sizes compared to any other order, ranging from the Least Wease (Mustela nivalis), which can be as small as 25g, to the Southern Elephant Seal (Mirounga leonina), which can reach up to 5,000kg. Individuals in this order are referred to as "Carnivores" which translates to "meat-eating", though there are some members of the order that are known to be omnivorous. Because of this, authors refer to members as "carnivorans". Carnivores have teeth and claws adapted to catching prey for consumption.
