Animals are grouped into differt types deping upon their living habit or eating habit
Answers
Animals need food to survive. There are 4 classification of animals according to what they it. These are the following:
1. Herbivores- Animals that only eat plant.
Herbivore is the anglicized form of a modern Latin coinage, herbivora, cited in Charles Lyell‘s 1830 Principles of Geology. Richard Owen employed the anglicized term in an 1854 work on fossil teeth and skeletons. Herbivora is derived from the Latin herba meaning a small plant or herb and vora, from vorare, to eat or devour.
2. Carnivores - Animals eat only other animals.
A carnivore meaning ‘meat eater’ (Latin, carne meaning ‘flesh’ and vorare meaning ‘to devour’) is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation orscavenging.
3. Omnivores- Animals that eat both plants and animals.
An Omnivore, meaning ‘all-eater’ (Latin omni, vorare: “all, everything”, “to devour”), is a polyphage (“many foods“) species that is a consumer of a variety of material as significant food sources in their natural diet. These foods may include plants, animals, algae and fungi.
4. Detrivores or Scavengers- Animals that eat the remains of died animal.
Detritivores, also known as detritophages, detritus feeders, detritus eaters, or saprophages, are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as feces).There are many kinds of invertebrates, vertebrates and plants that carry out coprophagy. By doing so all these detritivores, contribute to decomposition and the nutrient cycles. They should be distinguished from other decomposers, such as many species of bacteria, fungi and protists, which are unable to ingest discrete lumps of matter, but instead live by absorbing and metabolizing on a molecular scale (saprotrophic nutrition). However, the terms detritivore and decomposer are often used interchangeably. Various word roots relating to decayed matter (detritus, sapro-), eating and nutrition (-vore, -phage), and plants or life forms (-phyte, -obe) produce various terms, such as detritivore, detritophage, saprotroph, saprophyte, saprophage, and saprobe; their meanings overlap, although technical distinctions (based on physiologic mechanisms) narrow the sense.
