Carnivores generally eat herbivores, but can eat omnivores, and occasionally other carnivores. Animals that eat other animals, like carnivores and omnivores are important to any ecosystem, because they keep other species from getting overpopulated.
EXAMPLES OF CARNIVORES: Fox, tiger, lion, wolf, dog, and Eagles
HERBIVORES: A herbivore is an animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants. Omnivores can also eat parts of plants, but generally only the fruits and vegetables produced by fruit-bearing plants. Many herbivores have special digestive systems that let them digest all kinds of plants, including grasses.
EXAMPLES OF HERBIVORES: Moose, deer, cattle, sheep, rabbit and antelope.
OMNIVORES: An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. Some omnivores will hunt and eat their food, like carnivores, eating herbivores and other omnivores. Some others are scavengers and will eat dead matter. Many will eat eggs from other animals.
EXAMPLES OF OMNIVORES: Bear, raccoon, chicken and human.
