5. A herbivore eats only plants. Many insects are herbivores but some large animals are herbivores too, such as cows and deer. An omnivore eats both plants (which includes fruit and vegetables) and meat. Humans are omnivores, so are hedgehogs. A carnivore eats only meat. Birds of prey like the Peregrine are carnivores along with animals such as snakes and cats.
