What are omnivores define
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 9 months ago

An omnivore is defined as an animal that generally derives its energy and nutrients from a diet of plant and animal matter. Just like carnivores, omnivores hunt prey and other times; they forage for plant matter like herbivores. Humans are classified as omnivores as they eat both animals and plants.
Following are some of the examples of omnivorous animals:

  1. Besides humans, many other species live on an omnivorous diet. Some typical mammalian omnivores include racoons which are one of the best examples of an opportunistic feeder. This is because racoons are not very picky and eat anything from mice, frogs, fish, insects, fruits, vegetables to even commercial human wastes such as leftover food.
  2. Apart from racoons, other organisms such as opossums, skunks, pigs, rats and most of the bear species are opportunistic feeders. The jerboa is a type of rodent found in the desert that eats plant seeds and insects. The roadrunner is a bird usually found in the desert and its diet composes of fruits and seeds, but animal matter makes up a significant percentage of its diet. These include rodents, insects and even small snakes.
  3. Damselfish and parrotfish are omnivores that eat phytoplankton and other smaller fish. There are several omnivorous birds, including chicken, kea, crows, robins, etc. Some reptiles, such as lizards and turtles, are also omnivorous.
