omnivore (/ˈɒmnɪvɔːr/) is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and

carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber, and metabolize the nutrients and energy of the sources
absorbed.

biting/tearing/ripping incisors and canines (like carnivores) and chewing molars (like
herbivores). Animals with such diverse teeth tend to be omnivores.

Why omnivores are better than vegetarians?

The protein found in meat is complete, high biological value protein, which means the
proteins are more easily absorbed and utilized by the body. Additionally, omnivores are
less likely to be deficient in total calories, Vitamin B12, iron and
zinc than their vegetarian counterparts.

Are omnivores rare?

carnivorous—those that eat other animals—can trace this diet back to a common
ancestor more than 800 million years ago.

fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber, can move through your system in less
than a day.
