Step-by-step solution for: Herbivores, Carnivores, and Omnivores Facts and Characteristics
Let's solve this "Classify and Illustrate" worksheet step by step.
- Herbivore: Draw a leaf → eats only plants.
- Carnivore: Draw meat → eats only meat.
- Omnivore: Draw both leaf and meat → eats both plants and animals.
---
We'll classify each animal based on its diet:
---
These animals eat only plant-based food.
1. Rabbit – Eats grass, carrots, hay → ✔ Herbivore
2. Goat – Eats grass, leaves, shrubs → ✔ Herbivore
3. Giant Panda – Mostly eats bamboo → ✔ Herbivore *(Note: Though it’s a bear, it's primarily herbivorous)*
4. Sloth – Eats leaves → ✔ Herbivore
5. Kangaroo – Eats grasses and foliage → ✔ Herbivore
6. Rhino – Eats grass, leaves, fruits → ✔ Herbivore
7. Hippopotamus – Eats grass → ✔ Herbivore
8. Skunk – Wait! Skunks eat insects, small animals, and plants → ✘ Not herbivore
- Actually, skunks are omnivores.
9. Hedgehog – Eats insects, worms, fruits → ✘ Omnivore
10. Elephant – Eats grass, bark, fruit → ✔ Herbivore
✔ So, Herbivore animals:
- Rabbit
- Goat
- Giant panda
- Sloth
- Kangaroo
- Rhinoceros
- Hippopotamus
- Elephant
✘ Skunk and hedgehog are not herbivores.
---
These animals eat only meat.
1. Cheetah – Hunts antelopes, gazelles → ✔ Carnivore
2. Chipmunk – Eats seeds, nuts, insects → ✘ Omnivore
3. Squirrel – Nuts, seeds, fungi, sometimes insects → ✘ Omnivore
4. Eagle – Hunts fish, rodents, birds → ✔ Carnivore
5. Owl – Hunts mice, birds, insects → ✔ Carnivore
6. Deer – Eats grass, leaves → ✔ Herbivore
7. Leopard – Hunts antelopes, monkeys → ✔ Carnivore
8. Camel – Eats plants, leaves, thorny bushes → ✔ Herbivore
9. Donkey – Eats grass, hay → ✔ Herbivore
10. Cat – Eats meat, though domestic cats may eat some carbs → ✔ Carnivore *(Strictly carnivorous in nature)*
11. Crow – Eats seeds, insects, small animals, trash → ✘ Omnivore
✔ So, Carnivore animals:
- Cheetah
- Eagle
- Owl
- Leopard
- Cat
✘ Chipmunk, squirrel, crow → omnivores
✘ Deer, camel, donkey → herbivores
---
These animals eat both plants and animals.
1. Hyena – Eats carrion, bones, also scavenges plants → ✔ Omnivore *(Though often seen as carnivore, they do eat some plant matter)*
2. Chipmunk – Seeds, nuts, insects → ✔ Omnivore
3. Squirrel – Nuts, berries, insects → ✔ Omnivore
4. Skunk – Insects, berries, eggs, small animals → ✔ Omnivore
5. Hedgehog – Insects, worms, fruit → ✔ Omnivore
6. Crow – Seeds, garbage, small animals → ✔ Omnivore
✔ Omnivore animals:
- Hyena
- Chipmunk
- Squirrel
- Skunk
- Hedgehog
- Crow
