noun, plural: omnivores. An animal that includes both plants and animals in its normal diet. Supplement. Animals may be classified based on the type of their normal diet. Animals that feed (exclusively) on animals are called carnivores. Those that feed (exclusively) on plants are called herbivores. Animals that feed both on animals and plants are referred to as omnivores.
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.
