You are what you eat? Well such is the case of animals who can be classified into three groups because of the kinds of foods they eat. Find out what they are…
Did you know, that animals fall into three distinct groups based upon what they eat.
Herbivores are plant eaters, meat eaters are carnivores, and animals that eat both plants and animals are omnivores.
Herbivore: Just because they don’t eat meat doesn’t mean all herbivores are small. They can be as small as insects, rabbits or as big as rhinoceroses.
Carnivores: They often have sharper teeth or even fangs to help tear up flesh. Most of the time in their ecosystem, carnivores will prey on herbivores, though they may eat omnivores, or even other carnivores depending on what food is available. Tigers, whales and snakes are a few examples.
Omnivores: Usually have flat and sharp teeth and the ability to digest meat, fruit, and vegetables for food. Pigs, raccoons and chimpanzees are some examples of omnivores.
