Question Answer
HERBIVOROUS ANIMALS In zoology, a herbivore is an animal that feeds primarily on plants. In practice, many mainly herbivorous animals also feed on animal proteins, such as insects, eggs, etc. In the food chain, herbivores are the primary consumers, while meat eaters are secondary consumers. People who do not eat meat are not selected herbivores, but vegetarians
OMNIVOROUS ANIMALS Omnivorous animals are opportunistic and general eaters, which are not specifically adapted to eat and digest neither plant material nor meat exclusively
CARNIVOROUS ANIMALS A carnivore is an organism that obtains its energy and nutritional requirements through a diet that consists mainly or exclusively of the consumption of meat, either through predation or consumption of carrion. The preferred term in ecology is zoophagous.
