Herbivores, Carnivores and Omnivores

All animals need to eat food. We can classify animals, according to the food they eat, into three groups:

Herbivores: These animals eat plants. They eat different parts of plants: roots, leaves and fruits. They have special teeth to help them cut and cheww plants. For example: Deer, cows, horses, ponnies and rabbits are herbivores.

Carnivores: These animals eat other animals. They hunt and eat meat. They have sharp teeth. They have excellent eyesight. For example: Foxes, eagles, pumas and lions are carnivores.

Omnivores: These animals eat plants and other animals. Bears and chimpanzees are omnivores.
