Animal Activities #04

Greetings Distinguish Members of this community, I'm so privileged to be here and as well happy in participating in this week's contest by @xkool24. As a lover of animals, my interest in sharing about animals feeding is dynamic because I rare livestocks and as much, I have little clue or more knowledge about animals.
Before I proceed, Have you ever wondered what different animals do eat and how they get their food?

• Of course! Just like how some of us here loves pizza 🍕 while others do prefer salads, animals also have different food preferences too just as we do!

In "nature's big restaurant", every animal we see on earth 🌍 has its own special menu. So let's try as much to explore the fascinating world of animal feeding habits and discover who eats what

Herbivores: The Plant Eaters

• These are indeed nature's vegetarians! Herbivores only eat plants and plant products alone. They have this special features that help them eat and so digest plants:
• Rabbits indeed have a sharp front teeth to nibble on plants e.g carrots, lettuce, and grass plants.
• Giraffes also have a long necks and special tongues to reach for leaves high up in the trees.

• Cows so have multiple stomachs to help them in digesting tough grass. They're made up of multiple stomach to store some plants after eating.
• Elephants too use their trunks to grab leaves, fruits, and the tree bark.

Carnivores: The Meat Eaters
These very animals are like the nature's hunters. Their food is to eat other animals and they also have special body parts for always catching and eating meat:

• Lions have a very sharp teeth and claws that made it easy to catch and eat zebras and other animals(prey).
• Eagles is another animal that have sharp beaks and strong talons to catch fish and small animals.
• Sharks are made of rows of sharp teeth to catch and eat fishes in the water.
• Wolves always hunt in packs to catch larger animals like the deer.

Omnivores: The Everything Eaters
These are ones I classify clever animals as they eat both plants and meat, just like we humans! They can enjoy many different types of food:

• The Bears eat berries, honey, fish, and as well small animals.
• Raccoons is another here that enjoy fruits, nuts, insects, and even leftovers they find on the ground.
• Chickens do peck at seeds and plant but also eat the worms and insects found.
• Pigs which is precisely my area of specialization, eats vegetables, fruits, and other small animals.

Insectivores: The Bug Munchers
These are special animals that focus mainly on eating insects:

• The Anteaters use their long tongues to always catch ants and the termites.
• Frogs as well catches flying insects with their pretty sticky tongues.
• Bats also uses a special hearing to find and catch the moths at night.
• The Spiders catches any insects in their webs.

Fun Facts About Animal Feeding

• Some animals, the likes of snakes, can eat things way bigger than their heads!
  Pandas also spend about 12 hours every day just in eating bamboo.
  Hummingbirds here do drink sweet nectar from flowers using their amazing long beaks like a straw.
  Some animals too, like the camels, can go for a long periods without food or water.

Conclusion

Animals are indeed amazing creatures given to nature with different ways of finding and eating their food without challenges to sustainance. Each type of this animal has their special and unique features that help them to get the food they need to survive.

• Whether they're probably munching on plants, hunting at other animals, or eating a bit of everything at all, each animal plays in an important role in nature's food web.

Understanding well how this animals eat always helps us appreciate the wonderful diversity of our "life on Earth and reminds us why it's very important to protect all creatures and their habitats".
