An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats other animals or plants. Omnivores eat plants, but not all kinds of plants. Unlike herbivores, omnivores can't digest some of the substances in grains or other plants that do not produce fruit. They can eat fruits and vegetables, though.
Examples of omnivores are:
- grizzly bears
- striped skunks
- racoons
- polar bears
- humans
- blue jays
- woodpeckers

(Monkeys are omnivores depending on the type of species. Many will eat insects but when they can eat meat they well, they have their exceptions on their environment.)
