Educational animal classification worksheet for kids.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to sort the animals into three groups: Herbivores, Carnivores, and Omnivores.

First, let’s remember what each group means:

- Herbivores eat only plants (like grass, leaves, fruits).
- Carnivores eat only meat (other animals).
- Omnivores eat both plants AND meat.

Now, look at each animal one by one:

1. Sheep – Eats grass and plants → Herbivore
2. Shark – Eats fish and other sea animals → Carnivore
3. Cat – Eats mice, birds, meat → Carnivore
4. Kangaroo – Eats grass and plants → Herbivore
5. Elephant – Eats leaves, bark, fruit → Herbivore
6. Chicken – Eats seeds, bugs, small worms → Omnivore (eats both plants and tiny animals)

Wait — let’s double-check chicken. Yes! Chickens peck at grains (plants) but also eat insects (meat), so they are omnivores.

Now, let’s assign them to the correct boxes:

✔ Herbivores: Sheep, Kangaroo, Elephant
✔ Carnivores: Shark, Cat
✔ Omnivores: Chicken

That’s all six animals sorted correctly.

Final Answer:
Herbivores: Sheep, Kangaroo, Elephant
Carnivores: Shark, Cat
Omnivores: Chicken
