Detailed explanation-1: -The survey suggests that across animals, carnivory is most common, including 63% of species. Another 32% are herbivorous, while humans belong to a small minority, just 3%, of omnivorous animals.
Detailed explanation-2: -An omnivore is an organism that eats a variety of other organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi.
Detailed explanation-3: -Human beings are omnivores. People eat plants, such as vegetables and fruits. We eat animals, cooked as meat or used for products like milk or eggs. We eat fungi such as mushrooms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Of all the present-day animals Wiens and colleagues surveyed, 63% were carnivores, 32% were herbivores, and 3% were omnivores. (The rest were ambiguous.) The smaller proportion of herbivores and omnivores may seem surprising, Wiens says, because plants are such a plentiful resource.
