The Wildlife Web II - Herbivores and Carnivores

All plants and animals need energy to survive. Plants get their energy from the sun. They are producers because they make their own food using energy from the sun.

Other living things are consumers. Consumers can't make their own food. There are different types of consumers.

Herbivores are plant eaters. Carnivores are meat eaters. Omnivores eat plants and meat and insectivores eat insects.

Producers and consumers are part of the wildlife web. They are connected and depend on each other for survival.
