A carnivore is more likely to have taste buds for umami flavors. Umami is the fifth basic taste, known as the savory or meaty taste, which is primarily associated with proteins. Since carnivores mainly consume meat and animal proteins, their taste buds have likely adapted to detect and appreciate umami flavors. On the other hand, herbivores primarily consume plant-based diets and may not have developed specialized taste buds for umami flavors as they do not heavily rely on meat or protein sources for nutrition.
