Learn Class 5 Science - Animals

There are many kinds of animals around us, and each animal has its own characteristics and appearance. The differences between them include their ears, eyes, colors, and eating habits.

There are three main categories of animals: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.

Herbivores

The animals which consume only plants, grass, or leaves are known as herbivores. They do not hunt other animals and eat.

A few examples of herbivores include deer, cows, and elephants. The animals have sharp front teeth and back teeth for grinding the food.

Rodents are small forms of herbivores such as rabbits and rats. They gnaw their food, and they have long front teeth for that purpose.

Carnivores

The animals which hunt and eat the flesh of other animals are known as carnivores. A few examples of carnivores include lions, tigers, and hyenas. These animals have sharp front teeth.

Birds that eat the flesh of other animals are known as birds of prey. A few examples include eagles and vultures. They have sharp beaks and claws.

Omnivores

The animals which can eat both animals and plants are known as Omnivores. Human beings are also omnivores. Other examples of Omnivore animals include crows, chickens, and pigs.
