Carnivores, Herbivores and Omnivores

Herbivores

Herbivores are animals which only eat plant material. This means leaves, flowers, fruits or even wood. Sheep, horses, rabbits and snails are well known examples of herbivores which eat grass and leaves. A parrot, however, which eats fruits and nuts can also be called a herbivore.

Omnivores

Omnivores eat both plants and meat. Chickens are omnivores. They eat seeds, but they can also eat worms. human beings are also omnivores, although some people choose not to eat meat. These people are called vegetarians.

The chimpanzee is omnivorous. It eats fruits, leaves, palm nuts, seeds and stems, as well as ants, birds' eggs, fish and termites. Chimpanzees will occasionally kill and eat baboons and wild pigs.

Carnivores

Carnivores eat meat. A carnivore is a predator because it has to find and catch its prey. Some carnivores, such as wolves, hunt in a group called a pack. They move silently and slowly to form a circle around their prey before they attack.
