From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. An omnivore /ËÉmnivÉÉr/ is an animal whose species normally derives its energy and nutrients from a diet consisting of a variety of food sources that may include plants, animals, algae, fungi and bacteria.lthough cases exist of carnivores eating plant matter and herbivores eating meat, the classification omnivore refers to the adaptations and main food source of the species in general, so these exceptions do not make either individual animals or the species as a whole omnivorous.
Omnivores. Omnivores are named due to the Latin prefix omni, which means all.. For lack of a more descriptive qualifier, it means omnivores eat everything! Of course, that's not completely accurate, but it does mean an animal that eats both plant matter and flesh. The difficulty in classifying an animal as an omnivore has a number of facets. First, many animal species have different periods of development when it will transition from eating one type of product to another. For example, a cow will drink milk (an animal product) while it is a calf, but then transition to grass and grain once it weans.
