Were most dinosaurs Carnivores or Herbivores?
Just like today, carnivorous animals in the Mesozoic needed a much larger population of herbivores than carnivores in order to survive. Therefor, there were far more herbivorous than carnivorous dinosaurs. One example of this was the fact that the most common large dinosaurs in the Cretaceous were hadrosaurs, a group of herbivores.
Are mud-puppies carnivores omnivores or herbivore?
No, all salamanders are indeed strictly carnivores
Do secondary consumers eat meat?
Typical primary consumers are considered herbivorous (eating plant matter). Due to their feeding ecology and anatomical adaptations for a herbivorous diet, it is unlikely that a true primary consumer would eat a secondary consumer. However, if the primary consumer is more omnivorous (eating plant and animal matter), then it is possible that they may consume some meat from a fallen predator if the opportunity and need arises. A more common scenario would be where an omnivorous (though mostly herbivorous) animal, such as a lemur, might eat a spider, a predatory arthropod.
What are the names of carnivorous animals?
Please be more specific. There are hundreds of thousands of different types of predators in the animal world.
What is the symbiosis balance between the rodents and the carnivorous birds?
The carnivorous birds like the owl, thrush, parrot, hawk, eagle, etc. usually eat the rodents. The rodents are the prey while the carnivorous birds are the predators. Let's try to cut them down here: Prey: Rodents Predator: Carnivorous Birds Here's a simple food chain: Grass>Rodent>Carnivorous Birds There's an interdependence between the rodents and the carnivorous birds. "Interdependence" means when 2 sources tends to depend on each other. There should be enough carnivorous birds to help control the rodent's population, otherwise the rodent might overpopulate or their population might explode. There should also be enough rodents to help feed the carnivorous birds, otherwise they might starve to death. If the animal population changes, it can wreck the food chain and affect other animals. Population Change Without Grass: If the carnivorous bird's population dropped, then the rodent's population will rise as there'll rodents to get eaten. If the rodent's population dropped, then the carnivorous bird's population will also drop as there'll be less food for them to eat. If the carnivorous bird's population rose, then the rodent's population will drop as there'll be more rodents to get eaten. If the rodent's population rose, then the carnivorous bird's population will also rise as there needs to be more carnivorous birds to take more control patrol of the rodent population. Population Change With Grass: If the carnivorous bird's population dropped, then the rodent's population will rise as there'll be more rodents to get eaten. The grass population will also drop as more grasses will get eaten. If the rodent population dropped, then the carnivorous bird's population will also drop as there'll be less food for them to eat. The grass population will rise as less grasses will get eaten. If the carnivorous bird's population rose, then the rodent's population will drop as more rodents will get eaten. The grass population will rise as less grasses will get eaten. If the rodent population rose, then the carnivorous bird's population will also rise as there needs to be more carnivorous birds to take more control patrol of the rodent population. Indirect Interdependence: Animals in the higher link also relies on the lower link. If animal went extinct, then it'll affect the whole upper part as their predator will starve to death, and it affects the other predator. Animals in the higher also have an indirect interdependence with the lower link, although they don't prey on these stuffs. Although the carnivorous birds don't eat the grasses, they still needs to rely on grass because the rodents needs the grasses, which then drives the food chain to them. This is why they need to indirectly depends although that's not their primary food source. Although the carnivorous birds don't eat the grass, they won't last long enough if there weren't any in quite a long explanation. The rodents needs to depend on grass for their primary food source, so without them, the rodents will starve to death. The rodents are the primary food source for the carnivorous birds, so if the rodents are gone, then these carnivorous birds will starve to death. This explains the indirect interdependence that higher animals also needs to rely on the lower links because the lower links helps drive every food source through the food chain, which is them passed to them.
Are quails herbivores?
No. They're more omnivorous than herbivorous, since they will eat bugs along with grains and fruits.
How is the digestive system of a tadpole different than a frog's?
Tadpoles have a herbivorous (plant-based) diet and frogs have a carnivorous (animal-based) diet, and so during metamorphosis, some dramatic changes occur in the digestive tract. Herbivorous animals generally have longer and more coiled small intestines than carnivorous animals, because plant-based diets require more time in the digestive tract than animal based diets. In typical fashion, the herbivorous tadpole small intestine can be up to 10 times longer and much more coiled than the carnivorous frog small intestine. The stomach of the frog becomes more structurally complex after metamorphosis, with more folding
Were more dinosaur plant eaters or meat eaters?
More species of dinosaurs were herbivorous. Additionally, the populations of herbivorous dinosaurs were much larger than the populations of equally sized carnivorous dinosaurs.
Who are more stronger carnivorous or herbivorous?
Carnivourus, but I suppose ti depends on wheher it's a land or water specimen.
Can person or animal ever be more than one type of consumer?
Yes. They can be either A herbivorous consumer or a Carnivorous consumer.
What herbivores lives in an ocean?
phytoplankton, green sea turtle ,manatees and dugongPhytoplankton are not herbivores. They get their energy through photosynthesis. Some radiolaria and foraminifera are herbivores for they eat the algae that produce sugars by photosynthesis. And many other plankton are also herbivorous while their associates are carnivorous, omnivorous or are detritovores. Google will help in listing these microscopic herbivores. Several phyla are involved.Read more: What_herbivores_live_in_the_ocean
Are GMO's a threat to biodiversity?
This question asked in 2012 prelims(upsc) exam... well promotion of vegetarianism is threat to Bio-diversity because Bio-diversity means all living organisms include plants ,animals(carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous animals ) if we promote only veg then what would tigers, lions n leopards eat .. this makes population of herbivorous animals in large and they eat all plants , grass land ect this inturn effects other small organisms.

Are magpies vegetarian?
Magpies are related to crows. All the Corvidae are omnivorous.

No, all salamanders are indeed strictly carnivores

How do you affect the plants and animals?
All living things, human beings, plants and animals are interdependent. As humans have more developed mind, they (we) cut down the trees, as a result, we reduce the food of herbivorous animals and some of them die due to starving, as a result of this, the food for carnivorous animals is also less, so they also die starving. And at last, the manure the plants get also has less food (proteins and vitamins) than they need, so they too die. That is how, for our comforts, we kill or murder so many animals.
