Omnivores
104 species whose profiles list a omnivore diet — ranked by popularity, each with an answer-first guide.
Quick answer
Omnivores eat both plant and animal foods, switching with season, habitat, and opportunity. Flexible diets help them thrive near people and in changing landscapes — foxes, bears, pigs, and many birds are classic examples. Omnivory is a strategy, not a single tooth type.
How we group by diet

Frequently asked questions
What are omnivores?
Omnivores eat both plant and animal foods, switching with season, habitat, and opportunity. Flexible diets help them thrive near people and in changing landscapes — foxes, bears, pigs, and many birds are classic examples. Omnivory is a strategy, not a single tooth type.
How many omnivores are in the Global Animal Guide?
The guide currently features 104 omnivores with answer-first profiles covering diet, habitat, size, and conservation status.
How do you decide an animal's diet category?
Diet facets are derived from each species' Diet fact on its profile (for example Carnivore, Herbivore, or more detailed notes). An animal can appear in more than one facet when its diet spans categories, such as omnivores that also eat insects.
