OMNIVORE CREATURES
|
| Omnivores
are not very specific creatures when it comes to eating
habits and their diets. They eat various foods such as
fruit, insects, and sometimes other creatures smaller
than it. That is what an omnivore is, it is an animal
that eats more than one kind of food. There are many
different kinds of omnivores out there. Some are playful,
others are quite violent and dangerous. Humans like me
and you are also considered omnivores. We eat more than
one type of food. (Pictures
