It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Herbivores, Carnivores and Omnivores". The task is to classify animals into the correct category:
Herbivores,
Omnivores, or
Carnivores.
Here's how to solve it:
Step 1: Understand the Definitions
-
Herbivores: Animals that eat only plants (e.g., grass, leaves, fruits).
-
Carnivores: Animals that eat only meat.
-
Omnivores: Animals that eat both plants and meat.

Step 2: Analyze the Given Animals
The list of animals provided in the image includes:
- sheep
- monkey
- cheetah
- horse
- cow
- human
- pig
- lion
- bear
- mouse
- wolf
- hyena
Let’s classify each one:
#### Herbivores (eat only plants):
-
sheep → eats grass
-
horse → eats grass and hay
-
cow → eats grass and plants
-
mouse → primarily eats seeds and plants (though some may eat insects, but generally considered herbivore)
> Note: Some sources classify mice as omnivores due to occasional insect consumption, but in basic education, they are often grouped as herbivores.
#### Carnivores (eat only meat):
-
cheetah → hunts and eats other animals
-
lion → meat-eater (big cat)
-
hyena → mostly eats meat (though scavenges, still classified as carnivore)
-
dog → not listed, but
fox or
wolves are carnivores — here we have
wolf
-
wolf → meat-eater
#### Omnivores (eat both plants and meat):
-
monkey → eats fruits, seeds, insects, etc.
-
human → eats plants and meat
-
pig → eats almost anything (plants, meat, scraps)
-
bear → eats berries, fish, honey, insects, etc.

Step 3: Fill in the Table
Now place them in the correct columns:
|
Herbivores |
Omnivores |
Carnivores |
|----------------|---------------|----------------|
| sheep | monkey | cheetah |
| horse | human | lion |
| cow | pig | hyena |
| mouse | bear | wolf |
> Note: "Fox" was mentioned in your list, but it's not visible in the image. If present, fox would be a carnivore.

Final Answer:
✔ Herbivores: sheep, horse, cow, mouse
✔ Omnivores: monkey, human, pig, bear
✔ Carnivores: cheetah, lion, hyena, wolf
This classification matches typical biology standards for elementary or middle school levels.
