English term or phrase: flesh eater
I’m on the hunt, lured by the riddle of an eight- foot flesh eater that’s said to devour humans. This alleged killer is born deep in the ocean yet transforms itself into a freshwater predator. The most likely perpetrator is the longfin, an eel that’s unique to New Zealand and which is known to grow to at least six feet.

Será que eu poderia usar o termo carnivoro ou canibal nesse contexto? MUito obrigada.
