A '''predator''' is an [[animal]] that preys on other animals, which is basically the same thing as a [[carnivore]]. Animals that are not predators are called [[prey]], [[herbivore]]s or [[vegetarian]]s. Some common predatory animals include [[bear]]s, [[lion]]s, and [[shark]]s.

In [[Job]] 40:15 [[The Bible]] teaches us that all animals were [[herbivore]]s before their expulsion from the [[Garden of Eden]] and there were no predators. This is born out by the [[fossil record]].<ref>[http://objectiveministries.org/creation/dinosaurs.html] Objective Ministries: Dinosaurs</ref><ref>[http://www.sixdaycreation.com/facts/flood/june99.html] Six Day Creation: Noah's Flood and Dinosaur Extinction </ref>

While commonly interpreted that this means there were no predators in the Garden, it is held by some that this means that all plants were given by God as food; that all plants could be eaten. This interpretation does not preclude the existence of predators.
