- PittleyDunkin 2y agoNot really. It seems to me term filter feeder exists outside the whole carnivore/herbivore dynamic, which seems like less of a dietary thing and more of a behavioral thing anyway (though of course many animals are simply unable to digest stuff like cellulose, so it is also dietary... but then again these things are messy)
- swores 2y ago> "carnivore/herbivore dynamic, which seems like less of a dietary thing and more of a behavioral thing" They're literally terms to describe dietary habits, nothing else. A human who eats meat is a carnivore, regardless of whether they're hunting live animals or being served chicken nuggets on a plate - the only behaviour that's relevant is whether the diet includes meat or not.
