Carnivorous animals are those that feed on other animals, which already
indicates some issues related to their characteristics and their behaviors.
Classification
It is structured from the type of organisms used to feed. We will find for example insectivorous carnivores
(also called entomophages), which feed on insects.
It is common for carnivores to be split into two large groups:
Predators
They are the ones who hunt their prey and then devour it, develops the adaptations that can carry
out its hunting through the senses of smell and taste;
carnoviros
Carroñeros
They feed on animals that are already dead. The latter have a substantive contribution to the noun
as they are organic remains that do not serve the land.

HerbivoreS
The most important group of herbivorous mammals is ruminants,
those animals that digest food in two stages, first consumed and
then amositos rumin.
Classification
The digestive system of herbivorous animals can only be vegetables, but they do not have the
enzymes required to digest their basic component, which is cellulose
Herbivorous animals make up the base seat of the food chain, which represents that they feed other
animals, whether carnivores or omnivores.
