Carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores.

Introduction:

Plants and other photo-synthesizers are considered the producers as they make food for themselves and other organisms with the help of photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight. However, animals are the consumers as they cannot produce food for themselves. They feed on other resources to fulfill their energy and nutrient requirements. Herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores are various categories of animals.
