Food Types

Herbivore | Omnivore | Carnivore

 

Herbivore

A herbivore is a creature who eats only plants. He may eat many types of plants, including grass, shrubs, fruit, vegetables etc., but he never eats other animals.

This does not mean that they would not be dangerous. Many herbivores were and still are quite dangerous, if approached. They can see no good reason for you to want to approach them, so they go nuts. A wild horse would be a good example. he would never approach you, since he eats grass, apples etc., not humans. But if you approached him, he would probably become quite dangerous because he can't understand what you want with him (and he worries a little that you may want to eat him).


Omnivore

Just like a herbivore, an Omnivore eats only plants. However, an omnivore tends to stick to only one kind of plant, rather than different types. A good example today, is the Koala bear from Australia. He eats only Euculyptus leaves off the Euculyptus trees. He never ventures out of the Euculyptus trees because there's no point, he simply doesn't want to eat anything else. 


Carnivore

A carnivore is a creature that lives mainly on meat (they kill and eat other animals). Many dinosaurs were carnivores, and most humans are, too. However, in the case of humans, we don't normally survive on meat alone (and in fact, most doctors would consider that to be quite unhealthy).

Part of the success of humans is that we can survive on plants or meat, which means we can survive anywhere, in any season.
