State
Animals classify by diet as herbivores, eating mainly plants; carnivores, eating other animals; or omnivores, eating both, with obligate carnivores relying on flesh alone.
Show
A lion is an obligate carnivore; a dog eating meat and plants is a facultative carnivore, bordering on omnivore.
Watch for
No sharp line separates facultative carnivores from omnivores — the categories describe a spectrum, not a boundary.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
