` “A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.”
― Leo Tolstoy( February 14, 2013 )
Animals need food to survive. There are animals that eat plants only.
Some eat flesh of other animals only. Other eats both plants and flesh of
animals.
Herbivores
Animals that only eat plant.
Herbivore
is the anglicized form of a modern Latin coinage, herbivora, cited
in Charles Lyell‘s 1830 Principles of Geology.[1] Richard Owen employed
the anglicized term in an 1854 work on fossil teeth and skeletons.[1] Herbivora is
derived from the Latin herba meaning a small plant or herb,[2] and vora, from vorare, to
eat or devour.[3]
A herbivore is an
animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants. Omnivores can
also eat parts of plants, but generally only the fruits and vegetables produced
by fruit-bearing plants. Many herbivores have special digestive systems that
let them digest all kinds of plants, including grasses.
Carnivores
Some animals eat only other animals.
A carnivore (pron.: /ˈkɑrnɪvɔər/) meaning ‘meat eater’ (Latin, carne meaning
‘flesh’ and vorare meaning ‘to devour’) is an organism that
derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting
mainly or exclusively of animal tissue,
whether through predation orscavenging.[1][2] Animals
that depend solely on animal flesh for their nutrient requirements are
considered obligate carnivores while those that also
consume non-animal food are considered facultative carnivores.[2] Omnivores also
consume both animal and non-animal food, and apart from the more general
definition, there is no clearly defined ratio of plant to animal material that
would distinguish a facultative carnivore from an omnivore, or an omnivore from
a facultative herbivore, for that matter.[3] A
carnivore that sits at the top of the foodchain is
an apex predator.
Omnivores
often are opportunistic, general feeders with
neither carnivore nor herbivore specializations
for acquiring or processing food, and are capable of consuming and do consume
both animal protein and vegetation.[2] Many
omnivores depend on a suitable mix of animal and plant food for long-term good
health and reproduction.
Since carnivores have to hunt down
and kill other animals they require a large amount of calories. This means that
they have to eat many other animals over the course of the year. The bigger the
carnivore, the more it has to eat. You should make sure that you have many more
herbivores and omnivores than carnivores.
Omnivores
Some animals eat only other animals.
An Omnivore, meaning ‘all-eater’ (Latin omni, vorare: “all, everything”, “to devour”), is a polyphage (“many foods“) species that is a consumer of a variety of material as significant food sources in their natural diet. These foods may include plants, animals, algae and fungi.[1]
Animals that eat both plants and animals. You eat plants when you eat fruits, vegetable, rice and corn. Likewise you eat eggs, meat, milk, cheese which comes from animals. Thus, humans and some animals like cats and dogs are omnivors

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.
