Educational worksheet for classifying animals as carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores based on their diets.

Let’s go through this step by step.

We need to sort each animal into one of three groups:
- Carnivores = eat only meat (other animals)
- Herbivores = eat only plants
- Omnivores = eat both plants and animals

---

Let’s look at each animal and what it eats:

1. Horse → hay, grass, corn → all plants → Herbivore

2. Raccoon → frogs, eggs, fruit, nuts → frogs and eggs are animal parts; fruit and nuts are plant parts → Omnivore

3. Venus flytrap → ants, grasshoppers, frogs → these are all insects or small animals → Carnivore
*(Note: Even though it’s a plant, it eats animals — so for this activity, we classify it as carnivore based on diet)*

4. Deer → plants, fruit, acorn → all plant-based → Herbivore

5. Pig → fruit, grass, corn, insects, pigs → fruit/grass/corn = plants; insects/pigs = animals → Omnivore

6. Lion → zebras, elephants, squirrels → all animals → Carnivore

7. Panda bear → bamboo leaves & stems → bamboo is a plant → Herbivore

8. Polar bear → seals, walrus, whale → all animals → Carnivore

9. Skunk → lizards, birds, berries → lizards/birds = animals; berries = plants → Omnivore

Now let’s group them correctly:

✔ Carnivores:
- Lion
- Polar bear
- Venus flytrap

✔ Herbivores:
- Horse
- Deer
- Panda bear

✔ Omnivores:
- Raccoon
- Pig
- Skunk

Final Answer:
Carnivores: Lion, Polar bear, Venus flytrap
Herbivores: Horse, Deer, Panda bear
Omnivores: Raccoon, Pig, Skunk
