Flock of Carnivorous dirigibles. USN photo circa 1930-31.

Carnivorous digible (Dirigible horribilis) is a species of self-aware dirigible.

It is a grazing ruminant airship, neither carnivorous nor horrible.

The term carnivous, and the Latin name Dirigible horribilis, are humorous irony, probably Edward Lear's doing.
