Is elephant omnivore

Answer 1

Omnivores are those creatures (animals) that eat both meat and vegetables.

An elephant eats only grass (tall) and leaves. Hence an elephant is herbivorous and not omnivorous.

Answer 2

Elephants are herbivores, that is, they eat plants. They have been known to eat salt, chalk and dirt to obtain minerals which they might not be able to get from a purely plant diet. They are not predators.

Answer 3

No a lion is a hunter. Animals such as hyenas are scavengers.

Lions are not strictly scavengers, but they are scavenger-hunters. When they come across dead corpses, they will eat it.

Many lone or old males are strictly scavengers because they can not hunt efficiently. Their failure rate is too high and hunting expends too much energy.

The misconception that lions are hunters and not scavengers is wrong. Lions do not belong in the scavenger category, but they "do" eat already dead animals.

(NGC have videos of the scavenging activity)

Elephants are herbivores.
