It is abundantly clear from the names given to the carnivores by Adam that he had seen these animals in action - eating other animals prior to the Fall of mankind. The idea that all animals ate only plants prior to the Fall is contradicted directly by the biblical texts
It is an assumption that Adam gave the animals these names because he saw them eating other animals. That he gave them names is in the biblical text, that he gave them those names or meant the names to reflect behavior is not a biblical text. It may be a logical assumption, but it is not biblical proof.
Gen. 1:30 "And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth on the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."
There is a question as to whether Adam named the animals with the Hebrew language. There was only one language before the tower of Babel and God confounded the tongues. It is only an assumption that the original language that Adam spoke was Hebrew.

Sounds pretty clear to me, every means every.
