Answers
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
