Omnivores

Now that we have herbivores and we know we have carnivores, apparently from this picture we also have omnivores.

Do you know what all this means?

The rabbits are herbivores. Guess what we feed them 2 1/2 cups of in a given day? LEAFY GREENS! Do you like leafy greens? That would be spinach, collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, etc. They also love hard crunchy veggies like carrots and celery. What do you think an herbivore is?

Official definition: An animal that feeds chiefly on plants.

So what do you think a carnivore is? Maxine and the gatos are carnivores. (So are you and me)

Carnivore: A flesh-eating animal.

So NOW what do you think an omnivore is?? One that takes in everything available - that would be SICKY! This picture is of Jimmy eating an ice cream treat. Why would a cat be interested in ice cream????
