Polyphagy is the ability of an animal to eat a variety of food, whereas monophagy is the intolerance of every food except of one specific type (see generalist and specialist species).

Another classification refers to the specific food animals specialize in eating, such as:

Carnivore: the eating of animals

Araneophagy: eating spiders

Avivore: eating birds

Durophagy: eating hard-shelled or exoskeleton bearing organisms

Egg predation: eating eggs (but also see "Intrauterine cannibalism" below), also Ovivore

Haematophagy: eating blood

Insectivore: eating insects

Myrmecophagy: eating ants and/or termites

Invertivore: eating invertebrates

Keratophagy or Ceratophagy: eating horny material, such as wool by cloths moths, or snakes eating their own skin after ecdysis.

Lepidophagy: eating fish scales

Molluscivore: eating molluscs

Mucophagy: eating mucus

Ophiophagy: eating snakes

Piscivore: eating fish

Anurophagy: eating frogs

Spongivore: eating sponges

Teuthophagore: eating mainly squid and other cephalopods

Vermivore: eating worms

Zooplanktonivore: eating zooplankton

Herbivore: the eating of plants

Exudativore: eating plant and/or insect exudates (gum, sap, lerp, etc.)

Gumivore: eating tree gum

Folivore: eating leaves

Florivore: eating flower tissue prior to seed coat formation

Frugivore: eating fruits

Graminivore: eating grasses

Granivore: eating seeds

Nectarivore: eating nectar

Palynivore: eating pollen

Phytoplanktonivore: eating phytoplankton

Xylophagy: eating wood

Omnivore: the eating of both plants, animals, fungi, bacteria etc. The term means "all-eater".

By amount of meat in diet

Hypercarnivore: more than 70% meat

Mesocarnivore: 30–70% meat

Hypocarnivore: less than 30% meat

Fungivore: the eating of fungus

Bacterivore: the eating of bacteria

The eating of non-living or decaying matter:

Coprophagy: eating faeces

Detritivore: eating decomposing material

Geophagy: eating inorganic earth

Osteophagy: eating bones

Saprophagy: eating decaying organic matter

Scavenger: eating carrion

Answer:

Herbivores

Any animal that eats only plants will be classified as an herbivore. Just because they don't eat meat doesn't mean all herbivores are small. Guinea pigs, rabbits, snails and butterflies are all good examples of small herbivores, but horses, cows, zebras, deer and elephants are herbivores, as well. In prehistoric times, many dinosaurs ate only plants and they reached gigantic proportions. Many different types of animals can be herbivores, including mammals, insects, worms, invertebrates and even some birds.

Carnivores

Any animal that sustains itself solely on meat is classified as a carnivore. Carnivores often have sharper teeth or even fangs to help tear up flesh. Most of the time in their ecosystem, carnivores will prey on herbivores though they may eat omnivores or even other carnivores depending on what food is available. Small carnivores can include spiders, frogs and bats. Medium-size carnivores might include larger birds, such as eagles and hawks, snakes, and anteaters. Large carnivores range from wild dogs and wolves to large predators like lions, tigers or crocodiles
