are hawks carnivores or omnivores
Bird of prey. For other uses, see Bird of prey (disambiguation). Birds of prey, also known as raptors, hunt and feed on other animals. The term raptor is derived from the Latin word rapere (meaning to seize or take by force). These birds are characterized by keen vision that allows them to detect prey during flight and powerful talons and beaks. Animals that are most likely to survive in new environments, like when they first arrived on Tutuila, are often omnivores. A good example is the rat (isumu), which can eat fruit, eggs, crabs, fungi, and probably many other things. Carnivores are those species that eat almost exclusively other animals. We usually think of carnivores as fierce hunters, like wolves or lions, but actually any animal that eats other animals are carnivores. Hawk - carnivore. Raccoon - omnivore. Turtle - omnivores, most are carnivores when they are young, but become omnivorous as they grow. Rabbit - herbivore. Bird - too general to say. Some birds are carnivores, like magpies, kookaburras and butcher birds, others are herbivores, like parrots. Birds of prey generally prey on vertebrates, which are usually quite large relative to the size of the bird. Most also eat carrion, at least occasionally, and vultures and condors eat carrion as their main food source. Many raptor species are considered apex predators. Herbivores are animals which only eat plant material. This means leaves, flowers, fruits or even wood. Sheep, horses, rabbits and snails are well known examples of herbivores which eat grass and leaves. A parrot, however, which eats fruits and nuts can also be called a herbivore. Omnivores eat both plants and meat. Best Answer: ok, first a quick explanation: herbivore eat herbs and greens, like turtles and rabbits. carnivores eat meat, like hawks and lions. omnivores eat both kinds, greens and meat, like raccoons, and birds. producers make their own nutrition, like plants; the green ones use the sunlight in order to grow. Carnivores eat meat. A carnivore is a predator because it has to find and catch its prey. Some carnivores, such as wolves, hunt in a group called a pack. They move silently and slowly to form a circle around their prey before they attack. Chickens are omnivores. They eat seeds, but they can also eat worms. human beings are also omnivores, although some people choose not to eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. The chimpanzee is omnivorous. It eats fruits, leaves, palm nuts, seeds and stems, as well as ants, birds' eggs, fish and termites. Wait for a response from students that may include tigers, sharks, lions, etc. Explain that carnivore refers to living things that eat almost exclusively other animals. Tell students that an ecosystem with carnivores reflects a balance between them and other living things in that area. The Barn Owl, or lulu, is the only Samoan animal that hunts other birds and mammals, but there are lots of other carnivores, including fish-eating birds and multiple animals that eat insects. Herbivores describe animals that eat only plants. This is a very general term, so it is better to specify what part of a plant is eaten, whether leaves, fruits, or nectar. Each kind of animal usually is good at eating only one, or at most two, of these parts of a plant, because they are so different.
