Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore

An herbivore is a heterotrophic animal that consumes plants. A carnivore is an animal that eats only meat; it preys on other animals. Animals that eat meat and vegetation are called omnivores.

Woody, as a human, eats both meat and plants, so he is an omnivore. Bullseye, a horse, feeds on grass. He is an herbivore.

Sharks often feed on seals and other marine animals. They are carnivores.
