Meaning of teuthivorous | Babel Free

Adjective CEFR C1

Definitions

Feeding on cephalopods.

not-comparable

Examples

“The tusks of the strap-toothed whale grow up and across the snout, like a bone ribbon that ties the mouth nearly shut. This apparently causes no problems, because beaked whales—keeping it weird—neither bite nor chew their food. They are suction feeders, drinking in their meals rather than eating them, and they’re also teuthivorous, meaning they primarily eat squid.”
