Food Chains​

What is a Food Chain?​

• A series of organisms​ each dependent on the next as a source of food

​If I had a frog, and I put it in my food chain, I will call it a consumer because it is one of the animals in the food chain that's eating something.

Food Chains​

​Herbivores

Herbivores are animals​ that only eat plants​ and mostly small animals are herbivores and only eat plants. For example: An insect.

An insect eats only plants and big insects eat some little insects.

A herbivore's teeth are only molars (grinding) because of their diet.​

Food Chains​

​Carnivores

Carniv​ores are animals eat meat (other animals) but raw and mostly large animals are carnivore and eat meat. For example: A lion.

• The top ​carnivore of the savannah

Because of​ the teeth, the teeth for carnivores are only canines (slicing and crushing) because of their mighty diet.

Previous Slide: Herbivores Next Slide​: Omnivores

​Omnivores

Omnivores ​are animals that eat both meat and plants. In fact, that means human are omnivores too! And a baboon. That's a good example of a omnivore.

• The only omnivore in the savannah​.

• It eats insects such as termites​, little animals and can eat plants!

Herbivore+Carnivore=Omnivore​

Food Chains​

​Producers

​A producer is a plant that is the start of the food chain. Grass is eaten by many herbivores and carnivores don't eat any plants because instead they eat other animals. Omnivores eat both plants and meat so they is always 2 options whenever they eat meat or eat plants.
