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.
