Solution:
#### 1.
Lion
- Lions are
carnivores because they hunt and eat other animals (e.g., zebras, antelopes).
#### 2.
Squirrel
- Squirrels are primarily
herbivores as they eat nuts, seeds, fruits, and plants. However, some squirrels may occasionally eat insects, which makes them
omnivores in certain contexts. For simplicity, we'll classify them as
herbivores here.
#### 3.
Deer
- Deer are
herbivores because they feed on plants, grasses, leaves, and twigs.
#### 4.
Coyote
- Coyotes are
carnivores as they primarily hunt and eat small animals like rabbits, rodents, and birds.
#### 5.
Cow
- Cows are
herbivores because they graze on grass, hay, and other plant-based foods.
#### 6.
Brown Bear
- Brown bears are
omnivores because they eat a variety of foods, including fish, berries, nuts, and small animals.
#### 7.
Rabbit
- Rabbits are
herbivores as they feed on grass, leaves, and other plant materials.
#### 8.
Raccoon
- Raccoons are
omnivores because they eat a wide range of foods, including fruits, nuts, insects, and small animals.
#### 9.
