TYPES OF ANIMALS

Question	Answer
HERBIVOROUS ANIMALS Image: Animales Herbivoros (binary/octet-stream)	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 Image: Animales Omnivoros (binary/octet-stream)	Omnivorous animals are opportunistic and general eaters, which are not specifically adapted to eat and digest neither plant material nor meat exclusively
