Through the mouth or body, it depends on the kind of animal. Some animals are hunters, or predators, and are skilled at tracking, attacking, and killing other animals for food. Other animals are foragers, such as herbivores (plant-eating animals) like rabbits and squirrels. These animals eat what they can when they can, they usually have adaptations to help them avoid being eaten by hunting animals, such as excellent senses of hearing and smell, and the ability to move quickly.

Then, there are animals that are scavengers. They guys eat what is left behind, such as vultures. Scavengers will use senses of smell to help them find a recent kill.

There are also animals that will rummage through our garbage (opossums, skunks, and raccoons that live in urban areas), animals that eat fallen fruit and leaves (decomposers like beetles and snails), and many, many other animals that have unique ways of finding and eating their food.
