Let's solve this worksheet step by step.
Task:
We need to classify the animals shown in the images into one of three categories based on their diet:
-
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 1: Identify each animal and its diet
Here are the animals shown in the image (from left to right, top to bottom):
1.
Cheetah – Carnivore (eats meat)
2.
Monkey – Omnivore (eats fruits, seeds, insects, etc.)
3.
Giraffe – Herbivore (eats leaves, especially from acacia trees)
4.
Koala – Herbivore (eats eucalyptus leaves)
5.
Chicken – Omnivore (eats seeds, grains, insects, small animals)
6.
Eagle – Carnivore (eats fish, small mammals, birds)
7.
Crocodile – Carnivore (eats fish, mammals, birds)
8.
Pig – Omnivore (eats plants, roots, insects, small animals)
9.
Caterpillar – Herbivore (eats leaves)
10.
Snake – Carnivore (eats rodents, birds, eggs)
11.
Rat – Omnivore (eats grains, fruits, insects, garbage)
12.
Elephant – Herbivore (eats grass, bark, leaves, fruit)
13.
Tiger – Carnivore (eats large mammals like deer)
14.
Cow – Herbivore (eats grass, hay, silage)
15.
Duck – Omnivore (eats aquatic plants, insects, small fish, seeds)
