Based on my analysis of each animal's diet, here are the correct labels:
1.
C owls (carnivores - eat small mammals, birds, insects)
2.
H caterpillars (herbivores - eat plants)
3.
O bears (omnivores - eat both plants and animals)
4.
O skunks (omnivores - eat insects, small animals, fruits, plants)
5.
C eagles (carnivores - eat fish, small mammals, other birds)
6.
H giraffes (herbivores - eat leaves from trees)
7.
O rats (omnivores - eat grains, fruits, insects, small animals)
8.
O parrots (omnivores - eat seeds, fruits, nuts, sometimes insects)
9.
C snakes (carnivores - eat rodents, birds, eggs, other reptiles)
10.
H sheep (herbivores - eat grass and other vegetation)
11.
O turtles (omnivores - many species eat both plants and small animals)
12.
C toads (carnivores - eat insects, worms, small invertebrates)
13.
O flies (omnivores - adult flies eat nectar, fruit, sometimes decaying matter; larvae eat various organic material)
14.
O squirrels (omnivores - eat nuts, seeds, fruits, sometimes insects or eggs)
15.
O beetles (omnivores - many species eat plant material, but some are predators or scavengers)
Difference between carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore:
-
Herbivores are animals that eat only plants.
-
Carnivores are animals that eat only meat/other animals.
-
Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and animals.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of herbivore carnivore omnivore worksheet.
