In this article, we can understand the Difference Between Herbivores and Carnivores of Class 10 Science Chapter 1 Life Processes
Herbivores: They are holozoic organism which feed on plants or plants parts, e.g. Cow, Buffalo, Deer, Goat, Rabbit, Grasshopper, Elephant, Squirrel, Hippopotamus.
Carnivores: They are animals which feed on the other animals. Carnivores are also called predators as they hunt, kill and feed on their prey, e.g. Lion, Tiger Leopard, Snake, Hawk.
Difference Between Herbivores and Carnivores
| Herbivores | Carnivores | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Food: Herbivores feed on plants parts | They feed on other animals |
| 2 | Predation: There is no predation as the plants are defenceless and stationary | Predation is involved as the prey tries to escape |
| 3 | Examples: Cow, Buffalo, Deer | Examples: Leopard, Tiger, Lion |
