Question

Explain the difference between herbivorous, carnivorous, and omnivorous?

Answer 1

1. Animals that do not eat anything except plants are called herbivorous animals. They are also called grass-eating animals. Examples are cows, goats, and deer.
2. A carnivore is an organism that mostly eats meat or the flesh of animals. Sometimes carnivores are called predators. Organisms that carnivores hunt are called prey.
3. Omnivores are a diverse group of animals. Examples of omnivores include bears, birds, dogs, raccoons, foxes, certain insects, and even humans. Animals that hunt other animals are known as predators, while those that are hunted are known as prey. Since omnivores hunt and are hunted, they can be both predators and prey.
