Let’s go through each animal one by one and figure out if it’s a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore.
First, remember:
-
Carnivores eat only meat (other animals).
-
Herbivores eat only plants.
-
Omnivores eat both plants and meat.
Now let’s look at each animal:
1.
Indian Elephant – Eats grass, leaves, fruits → Herbivore
2.
White Pointer Shark – Eats fish, seals, other sea animals → Carnivore
3.
Rabbit – Eats grass, carrots, veggies → Herbivore
4.
Gorilla – Mostly eats plants, but sometimes insects → Omnivore
5.
Red Squirrel – Eats nuts, seeds, berries, sometimes bugs → Omnivore
6.
Horse – Eats grass, hay, grains → Herbivore
7.
Grizzly Bear – Eats berries, fish, small animals → Omnivore
8.
Zebra – Eats grass → Herbivore
9.
Hyena – Hunts and eats other animals → Carnivore
10.
Crocodile – Eats fish, birds, mammals → Carnivore
11.
Cobra – Eats rodents, frogs, eggs → Carnivore
12.
Lion – Hunts and eats other animals → Carnivore
13.
Sheep – Eats grass, hay → Herbivore
14.
Raccoon – Eats fruit, nuts, insects, trash, small animals → Omnivore
15.
Owl – Eats mice, insects, small animals → Carnivore
16.
Giraffe – Eats leaves from trees → Herbivore
Double-checking:
- Gorillas do eat some insects occasionally — so omnivore is correct.
- Raccoons are known to eat almost anything — definitely omnivore.
- All others fit clearly into their categories.
Final Answer:
Indian Elephant – Herbivore
White Pointer Shark – Carnivore
Rabbit – Herbivore
Gorilla – Omnivore
Red Squirrel – Omnivore
Horse – Herbivore
Grizzly Bear – Omnivore
Zebra – Herbivore
Hyena – Carnivore
Crocodile – Carnivore
Cobra – Carnivore
Lion – Carnivore
Sheep – Herbivore
Raccoon – Omnivore
Owl – Carnivore
Giraffe – Herbivore
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of omnivore carnivore herbivore worksheet.
