animals are generally classed as carnivores (those that eat other animals), herbivores (those that eat plants) or omnivores (those that eat both plants and animals).\n\nThese classifications are not absolute.  Cats and wolves are considered carnivores, but will sometimes also eat plant material.  Hippos are considered herbivores, but have been known to eat meat too.\n\nWithin each classification, there are also different names to refer to specialities within each type.  For example, a carnivore could be called a piscivore (eats fish) or insectivore (eats insects), and a herbivore could be called a graminivore (eats grasses) or frugivore (eats fruit).

Animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Green plants are the only plants that produce oxygen and make food, which is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis means ''putting together with light.'' This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats, and proteins. There are tiny pores called stomota. Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave through the stomata.\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/3715/photo3.html\n\nImportance of Photosynthesis\n\nAnimals and plants both synthesize fats and proteins from carbohydrates; thus glucose is a basic energy source for all living organisms. The oxygen released (with water vapor, in transpiration) as a photosynthetic byproduct, principally of phytoplankton, provides most of the atmospheric oxygen vital to respiration in plants and animals, and animals in turn produce carbon dioxide necessary to plants. Photosynthesis can therefore be considered the ultimate source of life for nearly all plants and animals by providing the source of energy that drives all their metabolic processes.

How does an earthworm eat? Earthworms eat by pulling food into their mouth with their prostomium combined with the muscular pharynx which creates a very high suction (like a vacuum). The food is stored in the crop and then ground up into small digestible pieces in the gizzard. Earthworms need a gizzard because they do not have any teeth. The nutrients are absorbed into the body in the small intestine. \nEarthworms probably feed while they are moving. They are not picky eaters as they will eat all sorts of dead things such as decaying plant and animal matter. They consume a great deal of matter in a short period of time - they can produce their own weight in castings (worm dung) every 24 hours!

The sources of energy to animals (including humans) are carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.  Carbohydrates include sugars, starches, and cellulose.\nHumans can digest proteins, lipids, sugars and starches, but not cellulose.  So, we can get energy by eating plants (or parts of plants) that contain proteins, lipids, sugars, and/or starches.  We can't get energy from sources that only have cellulose.  For instance, we don't get any energy from celery or lettuce, though we can get vitamins and minerals, maybe some other nutrients also.  \nRabbits, horses, and cattle eat large amounts of plants containing cellulose as the main energy source.  They carry microorganisms in their intestines that help them digest the cellulose, breaking it down into sugars.  Some microorganisms further process these into proteins.  However, humans don't host this kind of microorganism.

Oh....Smallest to largest...\nCrayfish, Dove, Quail, Squirrel, Bullfrogs, Teal, Rabbit, Pheasant, Feral Domestic Cat, Swamp Rabbit, Wood Duck, Pintail Duck, Mallard Duck, Canadian Goose, Snow Goose, Speckledbelly Goose, Turkey, Deer...starting next year, Black Bear.\nOn occasion...Crow, Bobcat, Opossum, Coyote, Wild Dog.\nAnd I eat them all...except the bobcat, crow, wild dog, feral domestic cat, and coyote.\nI don't think I left anything out.  The only other critter I could think of is wild hogs, and I try my best to steer clear of anything resembling a pig.  Pigs are evil, vile creatures, and the only good thing that comes from them is bacon and sausage.

Eating every livestock, be it red or white meat in moderation is the wisest if you dont want to clog up your arteries.But of cos avoid the fatty parts of the meat even if its white meat.Always remember to eat fruits and vegetables after every meal of meat to help in the digestion of the meat eaten.Dont forget also to drink plenty of water too.

Yes. It is called scat.  You can identify the foods the animal ate & it's general state of health  by examining it.  There is a subset of paleontology, and of general biology, that deals with this.  It is less invasive than dissection, and less stressful on the animal.

We ARE supposed to eat animals. we are part of the food chain that was created in this world. Vegetarians have their reasons NOT to eat animals, but other animals eat animals lower on their food chain... we are just part of that chain.

Giant pandas eat a diet of bamboo.But captive pandas eat vegetables too.They eat different parts of the plant depending on the time of year. In the summer and autumn, pandas munch mostly on leaves. Winter means a diet of tough stems. Spring provides tender, young bamboo shoots.\nBecause bamboo does not provide enough vitamins, a panda needs to consume a large amount of food — up to 20kg of bamboo each day. To get enough food, a panda must spend 10 to 16 hours a day foraging and eating.\n\nThey have no problem eating wood because they have exceptionally strong jaws and teeth to crush the wood.The front teeth are knife shaped to tear and cut the bamboo.The four pairs of molars or back teeth grind the Bamboo into peices.They have strong forelimbs n paws which also help in eating the stems of Bamboo.

They don't prey on any animals, they're herbivores, so only eat plant matter. And cheese!

Via the carbon cycle. Green plants take in carbon dioxide from air during photosynthesis to produce a 6C sugar. Herbivores eat these green plants and carnivores eat herbivores. All animals respire and give back carbon into the air via carbon dioxide. And when all animals die, putrefying agents aid in the decomposition of dead matter and carbon compounds are taken back into the soil or given out into the air as carbon dioxide.

A herbivore is an animal that is adapted to eat primarily plant matter (rather than meat). Although such animals are sometimes referred to as being vegetarian, this term is more properly reserved for humans who choose not to eat meat as opposed to animals that are unable to.\nHerbivores can be further classified into various sub-groups, such as frugivores, which eat mainly fruit; or folivores, which specialize in eating leaves. This specialization is far from universal, however, and many fruit- and leaf-eating animals also eat other parts of plants, notably roots and seeds. The diets of some herbivorous animals vary with the seasons, especially in the temperate zones, where different plant foods are most available at different times of year.\nThere is a misperception that if an animal is herbivorous, it represents less danger to humans than a carnivore (or, sometimes, no danger at all). This is not logically sound; few animals, even carnivores, will seek humans as a food source, but any animal will attack a human if necessary to defend itself. For example, in national parks such as the United State's Yellowstone Park, bison represent significantly more danger to humans than wolves, which are likely to avoid people. Of the Africa's Big Five or Big Five Game, (a term coined by the hunting fraternity in Africa to refer to the five most dangerous animals to hunt i.e. Rhinoceros, Leopard, Cape Buffalo, Elephant and Lion), three are Herbivores .\nHerbivores form an important link in the food chain as they transform the sun's energy stored in the plants to food that can be consumable by other carnivores up the food chain.\nA carnivore meaning "meat eater" is an animal that eats a diet consisting solely of meat, whether it comes from live animals or dead (scavenging). Some animals are considered carnivores even if their diets contain a very small amount of meat. Those animals that subsist on a diet consisting only of meat are referred to as obligate carnivores.\nThe word also refers to the mammals of the Order Carnivora, many (but not all) of which fit the first definition. Bears are an example of members of Carnivora that are not true carnivores. Carnivores that eat primarily (or only) insects are called insectivores.\nThere are also several species of carnivorous plants. Though most are primarily insectivorous, some digest nematodes and other small invertebrates.\nMany dinosaurs were obligate carnivores, namely most, if not all, theropods, such as Tyrannosaurus rex. Sauropods and ornithischians were herbivorous\nAn omnivore (from Latin: omne all, everything; vorare to devour) is an animal that eats both plants and meat. Omnivores lack the specialist behaviour of carnivores and herbivores, searching widely for food sources, and are thus better able to withstand changes within their ecological niche. The digestive systems of omnivores reflect their versatility: they are able to digest the components of plants in the manner of herbivores but also readily assimilate protein and other nutrients from meat [1].\nGiven that brain size correlates to dietary quality (nutritional and caloric density of the diet) and omnivores have a wide-ranging diet, this group of animals is generally an intelligent one. The history of human evolution shows that supplementing our diet with meat allowed the development of substantially larger brains, a process that consumes large amounts of energy and nutrients. [2]. Other omnivorous animals with whom humans interact—raccoons, bears and even crows—often show remarkable intelligence in their food gathering behaviour.

Cows have a stomach with 4 chambers; rumen, reticulum, omasum and the abomasum. The cow ingests food and masticates it to break the cell wall. After entering the first two chambers, the cow regurgitates the cud to further break down the food (fibres); this assists the body in accessing nutrients within the cell which are difficult to obtain due to the nature of plant cells. These chambers contain bacteria (symbiotic) that break down cellulose. The liquid pulp then passes into omasum, which removes water. Finally the food enters the true stomach, abomasum which acts like any typical stomach. Cows should actually be known as bacteriophages, simply because its actually the bacteria that gain all the energy and nutrients required... \nCows do not eat meat (its illegal in Australia to feed cows - and other livestock - meat products - contributes to mad cows disease) - they dont even have the tooth morphology to eat meat!! And rabbits are hind-gut fermenters (cows foregut fermentors) and are known as coprophages; reconsuming their faeces allows to further break down any undigested plant material and bacteria (important gut flora). They only eat certain faeces, not all of it.
