What is the difference between a herbivore a carnivore and a scavenger?

Answer 1

A carnivore is mainly known as a 'meat eater'. Exmaple: Lion. Then you have scavengers, which'll basically eat anything they find. Such as a rat. :O So I guess that means the carnivores are predatores, and the scavengers just find dead animals and eat them, they don't kill. Hope that helped. :]

Answer 2

scavengers and carnivores differ by:

scavengers only eat animals when they are dead.

carnivores haunt in packs to improve their success, and they start eating the herbivore even if they haven't completely killed them yet.

Answer 3

Carnivores hunt live animals, herbivores search for plants, Omnivores do both (with the inclusion of farming for humans). Scavengers are usually carnivores (Coyotes, Roaches...) who search for discarded/uneaten scraps of the previous three (or deceased members of the previous three). Humans use all four methods to eat food and I'm not aware of any other genus that does this.

Answer 4

Herbavore= Plant eater Carnivore= Kills meat for food Scavenger= Eats food (such as meat) that has been killed by something else or discarded i.e. a raccoon

Answer 5

Hi there, a carnivore is mainly known as a "meat eater", i.e. a lion. Then you have the scavenger who will basically eat anything they can get for example rats. Rumaging through litter etc.
