FLESH-EATING ANIMALS

Have you seen a lizard trying to catch insects? A lizard does not eat plants.

It feeds on insects. Hence, those animals which feed on other animals are

called flesh-eating animals or carnivores. Lions, wolves and tigers are

Some examples of carnivores. Some birds such as eagle, vulture and kite

also eat the flesh of other animals. These are called flesh-eating birds.

Some animals such as bears, chipmunks and chimpanzees eat both plants

and other animals. These animals are called omnivores. There are some

birds such as crows and robins that are also omnivores. Human beings also

eat both plant and animal products.
