b) Carnivores
Carnivores are animals that eat only meat. These animals are usually fairly large and they have to eat other animals in order to obtain enough energy. Some carnivores eat insects and bugs, small animals, while other carnivores eat bigger animals. Examples of carnivores are wolves, lions, eagles, cheetahs and tigers.

c) Omnivores
Omnivores are animals that can eat both plant material and meat. They can get their food more easily than other animals because they can eat more types of food then either herbivores and carnivores. Examples of omnivores are chickens, bears, pigs, turtles and chimpanzees.
