They don't have thumbs.
Animal anatomy is one reason why animals don't make food in the way that human food preparation takes place. As an example, cats and dogs aren't used to walking around on two's instead of on all four's. Food preparation such as frying and kneading tend to require the chef to hold the spine vertically upwards.
Animal physiology is another reason. For example, animals such as the muskrat, the opossum, and the raccoon have more human like front and hind paws. But even they aren't used to using their finger and toe like projections to toss Pizza dough or scramble eggs. And oftentimes, food preparation and processing tends to draw upon the presence and use of thumbs.
Animal responsibilities within their environment are still another reason. Some animals are plant eaters, some meat eaters, and some either. But they tend to have specific dietary needs that are met within their own particular food chains. It's a kill and eat or killed and be eaten situation. There's not much time for preparation when animals eat on the run.
And animal traditions are yet another reason. Evolution is suggested as taking place throughout the world through key survival choices. But a turn to food preparation isn't one of the evolutionary choices that animals make. They choose to eat human prepared and processed food as pets, and from garbage in the wild. But nothing thus far suggests that animals will make the jump from eating their food sources as is, to picking up preparatory and processing skills. Such a leap requires a changed anatomy, changed body functions, and changed way of acquiring and applying skills.
What else can I help you with?
How are animals and plants different in getting their food?
probably because plants cant move to catch proper pray or cant fit a deer in its mouth if it even had one. the difference between them is that plants make their own food ( photosynthesis ), and animals have to get it, or find it
What animals make their own food?
Organisms that make their own food from sunlight and/or chemical energy from deep sea vents are the base of every food chain - these organisms are called autotrophs.Source: Enchanted Learningamoeba
What are animals that can't make their own food called?
consumers
What are animals called that cannot produce their own food?
Animals that cannot make their own food are called consumers.
Animals that cannot make their own food and must eat other animals or plants to get energy are called what food relationships show where organisms get their food each member on the chain feed?
Animals that cannot make their own food and must eat other animals or plants to obtain energy are known as heterotrophs. These organisms are a part of food chains, where each member feeds on the organism below it in the chain to acquire energy.
What is an animal that can provide its own food?
NONE! animals are consumers. they cant produce their own food.
Organisms that cant make there own food?
be more specific but from what you asked it is everything alive exept plants such as animals
Why can plants form photosynthesis but animals cant?
because animals don't have to make the own sugar and energy. plant have to it the only way they can survive. animals eat there food instead of make in themselves
Is a cheetah a heterotroph or a autotroph?
It is heterotroph, just like humans (and All other animals) because they can't make their own food but eat other organisms.
