Herbivorous animals eat only plant food such as grass, leaves and fruits. Cows, goats and deer are examples of herbivores.

Herbivores are animals that eat only plants; a cow is an example, as it eats grass and leaves. Carnivores are animals that eat the meat of other animals; a lion is an example, as it hunts deer and other animals for food. Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and animals; a bear is an example, as it eats fruits as well as fish. Each type of animal has teeth and a body suited to its kind of food. These three groups help us understand what different animals eat.

Around us, we can see herbivores like cows and goats that eat grass and leaves. We can also see carnivores like cats that sometimes catch and eat small animals or fish. Omnivores like dogs and crows eat both plant food, such as rice, and animal food, such as meat scraps. Herbivores need a lot of plant food daily to get energy. Carnivores hunt or are given meat to eat. Omnivores can eat a wide variety of both plant and animal food, which helps them survive in many places.

A lion's den is usually found in a cave or among rocks and bushes, while a rat's burrow is a small hole dug in the ground. A lion's den is bigger because a lion is a big animal, while a rat's burrow is small and narrow to fit the rat's size. Both homes protect the animals from danger and bad weather. A den is used by wild animals in forests, while a burrow can be found even near our homes. Each animal builds a shelter that suits its own size and needs.
IV. Answer the following questions.
1. How can you help plants and animals live together in your surroundings?
I can help plants and animals live together by planting more trees and not cutting them down. I can keep a small bowl of water and grains outside my house for birds and small animals. I can also avoid harming animals and take care of pets properly. By keeping my surroundings clean, I help both plants and animals stay healthy. This way, I can help nature stay in balance.
