VOICEOVER: "What types of food do animals eat?

Animals need to eat so they can stay alive because food is the main source of energy for all animals.

Different animals eat different types of food. We can group animals based on the types of food they like to eat.

For instance, there are some animals like rabbits, deer and horses that only eat plants. These animals are called herbivores. Herbi-vores.

Other animals, like otters, the tawny owl and the Scottish wildcat only eat meat. These animals are called carnivores. Carni-vores.

There are some animals that eat both meat and plants. These are called omnivores. Omni-vores. Foxes, hedgehogs and badgers are all omnivores.

As you can see, even though there are lots of animals in the animal kingdom, we can put them into three groups based on what they eat. Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat meat, and omnivores eat plants and meat. Simple."
