ANIMALS AND WHAT THEY EAT
CARNIVORES
animals that eat other animals
They are important to any ecosystem, because they keep other species from getting overpopulated.
Lions, snakes, sahrks...
HERBIVORES
eat both plant- and animal-derived food.
Herbivores need a lot of energy to stay alive. Many of them, like cows and sheep, eat all day long.
Many herbivores have special digestive systems that let them digest all kinds of plants
Human, birds, chickens...
OMNIVORES
They eat plants
Omnivores have very distinctive teeth that help with the digestion of their varied diets.
Some examples are deer, koalas, some birds...
TROPHIC SYSTEM
The trophic system has three levels. When one level of the trophic system is removed, all of the trophic levels below them are affected.
top level: omnivores and carnivores
Second level: herbivores
Bottom level: Living things that produces their own energy, like plants.
