Yes, I’m pretty sure a lion would die if he tried eating only plants, while I’d imagine a cow would die on a meat diet. I’m less well versed on non-human animal diets though, as I’ve never needed to give it a lot of thought.
I do know that humans can be very strong, fit and healthy on a plant-based diet, as confirmed by the world’s medical institutions, and demonstrated by vegan athletes of all types.

Animals don’t have the options we do. That argument fails.
Plus, that argument could be used to justify rape and murder. Perfectly natural. They don’t breed humanely.
What if the animals just ate plants instead?
Herbivores must, carnivores must not, omnivores with very high level thinking and moral agency is fortunate enough to choose.
So there isn’t the right nutrition available in plants to sustain every animal?
No one said every animal, just humans
