Animals are classified by what they eat. There are three main types: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.
Herbivores eat only plants, carnivores eat only meat, and omnivores eat both plants and meat.
Example: A cow is a herbivore because it eats grass and leaves. A lion is a carnivore because it eats other animals. A bear is an omnivore because it eats berries and fish.
