And fun fact… even herbivores eat meat on occasion if given the opportunity. It highlights the animal’s ability to find and capture food sources, digest them properly, and provide the needed energy to do it again tomorrow. These feeding behaviors are specific for the animal’s procurement of nutrients. Omnivore – An animal that has the ability to derive energy and survive on both plant and animal matter.Carnivore – An animal that derives its nutrient requirements and energy via a diet consisting of animal tissue.Herbivore – An animal adapted to eating plant material as a main component to their diet.The following are the different feeding classifications found in the animal kingdom (in relation to food/survival). Ruminants, for example, are able to acquire needed nutrients from plant-based foods by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion. Animal Feeding Behaviors (in nature)Īnimals in the wild are programed to eat (generally) a simple diet that fits their ability to process the foods they eat. This post is to highlight truths related to the WIDE spectrum between the Vegan and Carnivore diets by using science, nature, and reason. We have almost unrestricted power to decide what we want to eat and then eat it. We’re able to grow food, hunt, and raise livestock. We (mankind) obviously has dominion over the animals, what we do with it… that’s the debate. One of the best conservation efforts known in the United States is managed, legal hunting. To keep habitats thriving, predators are often introduced to areas to help manage overgrowing populations.
And due to conservation efforts, the numbers have steadily grown. Less than 100 remained in the wild by the late 1880s.
Bison were “hunted” almost to extinction in the 19th century. To highlight: In the 16th century, North America contained 25–30 million buffalo. We have the power to help animals thrive, we also have the power to cause a complete extinction if we want. Animals don’t have opinions, they do exactly what they do… to survive. Nature has a way of doing things exactly as intended.
