Carnivorans have teeth, claws, and binocular vision adapted for catching and eating other animals.

Carnivorans are primarily terrestrial and usually have strong sharp claws, with never fewer than four toes on each foot, and well-developed, prominent canine teeth, cheek teeth ( premolars and molars ) that generally have cutting edges.

Carnivorans have either four or five digits on each foot, with the first digit on the forepaws, also known as the dew claw, being vestigial in most species and absent in some.

Carnivorans tend to produce a single litter annually, but some produce multiple litters a year, and larger carnivorans, like bears, have gaps of 2 – 3 years between litters.

: For the most part, Dixon assumes that Carnivorans have either gone extinct, or have been forced into peripheral niches like the Creodonts were in the Oligocene.

Carnivorans evolved from miacoids about 55 million years ago during the late Paleocene.

By the mid Oligocene, Creodonts supplanted both the Mesonychids, and giant flightless predatory birds entirely in North America, Eurasia and Africa, and in turn, competed with their own relatives, the Carnivorans.

Members of the order are, first, diprotodont ( meaning " two front teeth "): they have a pair of large, procumbent incisors on the lower jaw, a common feature of many early groups of mammals and mammaliforms.
