I'm learning about food chains in school. What's the difference between a carnivore, an herbivore, and an omnivore?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
That's a great topic. A carnivore is an animal that eats meat, like lions and tigers. An herbivore eats only plants, like cows and rabbits. An omnivore eats both plants and animals, like humans and bears.<|im_end|>

So, carnivores only eat other animals. What about animals that eat both plants and animals, like bears? Are they always looking for meat?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, omnivores like bears don't always look for meat. They mostly eat plants, like berries and nuts, but they will eat animals if they find them, like fish or insects. They have a varied diet that includes both plants and animals.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That makes sense. So, bears are good examples of omnivores.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Exactly, bears are great examples of omnivores because they eat a mix of plants and animals.<|im_end|>
