Explore animals by diet

See which animals are carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores — then open full fact pages with photos and quick science.

Animals are grouped by the diet that accounts for most of what they eat. Carnivores live mainly on other animals, herbivores on plants, and omnivores on a mix of both. Many species shift with the seasons or take the occasional food outside their main category, so each is placed by its dominant feeding pattern rather than every meal.
