Different animals have different feeding habits. Based on their feeding habits, animals can be divided into three groups: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.<\/p>\n
Herbivorous animals<\/strong> or herbivores (herbi, plant; vore, eater) are those that eat only plants and plant products. Cow, deer, horse, giraffe, squirrel, and butterfly are examples of herbivores. Special Characteristics of Herbivores<\/strong><\/p>\n Carnivorous animals or carnivores (carni, meat; vore, eater) are those that only eat the flesh of other animals. Lion, tiger, jackal, vulture, owl, eagle, snake, and spider are examples of carnivores. Special Characteristics of Carnivores<\/strong><\/p>\n Omnivorous animals or omnivores (omni, all; vore, eater) are those that eat both plants and flesh of other animals. Bear, raccoon, crow, and human beings are examples of omnivores. <\/p>\n Instead of hunting live animals, some birds and animals eat the flesh of other animals that are already dead.\u00a0Vulture is one such bird. These animals or birds are called scavengers. Some other organisms feed on and destroy (or decompose) dead plants and animals. Fungi and bacteria are examples of such organisms. These organisms are called decomposers. Together with scavengers, decomposers play a very important role in nature. Without these organisms, our planet would be covered with dead plants and animals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Characteristics Of Herbivores, Carnivores And Omnivores Different animals have different feeding habits.
