Part 3: Describe the difference between a carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore.



- Herbivore (H): An animal that eats only plants (like grass, leaves, fruits, seeds). Example: cow, elephant.
- Carnivore (C): An animal that eats only meat (other animals). Example: tiger, shark.
- Omnivore (O): An animal that eats both plants and animals. Example: humans, raccoons, pigs.

These diets affect the animal’s teeth, digestive system, and behavior. For example, herbivores have flat teeth for grinding plants, carnivores have sharp teeth for tearing meat, and omnivores have a mix of both.
