Carnivalsim?

I think I heard a word 'carnivalism' in a wild animal TV program.

I looked it up in my dictionary but there is no result.

The context is the same species eat a cub of the same species.

Do you use that word?

cannibalism Male lions when they take control of a pride kill the young sired by other males. But I don't think they are cannibalistic; I don't believe they actually eat the cubs, do they?

Nope, they just kill the young so it brings the females into estrus again.
