Some species of pitcher plant found in the Philippines.
Carnivores
Carnivores only eat
meat. On the African
plains, carnivores
include lions, leopards,
and cheetahs.
Sea food
The further you go up the
chain, the fewer animals there
are. So in the sea, there are
countless plankton, fewer fish,
just a few seals, and even
fewer polar bears.
Scavengers
Dead meat, known as carrion,
is eaten by scavengers such
as hyenas, vultures, and bald
eagles. These creatures rarely
kill for food – they find animals
that have already died and
eat other animals’ leftovers.
