We'll classify each animal based on its diet:

---

Herbivores (Leaf Only)


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

Skunk and hedgehog are not herbivores.

🍽️ Carnivores (Meat Only)


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

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

3. Squirrel – Nuts, berries, insects → Omnivore
4. Skunk – Insects, berries, eggs, small animals → Omnivore
