No, the title word does not exist as such! It serves as a suffix (i.e. an appendix) to a large number of animal groups that ends in -vore and means To Eat. Without probably even reflecting on it Carl Barks happened to categorize a great number of his drawn animals in some of the groups that depict animals with specialized eating habits, and some of these are featured below. The English language contains about one hundred types of vores*, so you are only treated to a small selection. You can browse several specialized pages scattered in this website on the main subject of types of animal.

Remarks: It is important to understand that many of the selected examples of animals fit into several categories. In a few instances certain groups of animals do not have a Latin based name, in which case the proper Greek based name is used. The groups are presented in alphabetical order, and only with one name although there are in several cases groups bearing more names.
Also, it is worth noticing that some of the selected panels refer to Barks' own plotlines, meaning that it is a good thing if you are familiar with the specific stories in order to gain the full explanation of the attached term (example: A rabbit has a much more varied diet than just vegetables, but in the panel's story it specifically begs for money to buy a bunch of carrots).

* The suffix -vore comes from the Latin Vorare. The corresponding suffix -phagous comes from the Greek Phagein.
