An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. Some omnivores will hunt and eat their food, like
carnivores, eating
herbivores and other
omnivores. Some others are
scavengers and will eat dead matter. Many will eat eggs from other animals.
Omnivores eat plants, but not all kinds of plants. Unlike
herbivores, omnivores can't digest some of the substances in grains or other plants that do not produce fruit. They can eat fruits and vegetables, though. Some of the insect omnivores in this simulation are
pollinators, which are very important to the life cycle of some kinds of
plants.
You have several kinds of omnivores to choose from in this simulation, of different sizes:
Large Omnivores
Medium-sized Omnivores
Small Omnivores
