            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.
