Bats also have forward facing eyes I think (correct me on this please!), but most of them aren’t carnivorous. They eat fruits and bugs and stuff.

Well, if they hunt bugs, they are predators, no?

  Predators yes, carnivores no. Things that eat bugs are insectivores.
  
  Honestly though, almost no mammals are purely carnivorous, herbivorous, or insectivorous. The majority of species will opportunistically eat what is available.

    Yeah, and yiu don’t have to be a carnivore to be a predator.

I would assume insects would be evolutionarily similar to other types or prey.
