Using "veg" to describe your argument in attempt to tell us that we are not omnivores just shows how ignorant you are.
It is not just skulls and teeth(which you suck at reading,I may add) that tell us what an animal is. It is also digestive enzymes, digestive tract length, and digestive structures and functions. Here is a "simple" explanation..
Carnivores- Have enzymes to digest meat and to kill bacteria on raw meat. This is why dogs and cats can eat raw meat and not get sick. They have short digestive tracts. Meat is much easier to break down then plants thus the shorter digestive tract. Have sharp canines and molars to rip meat.
Omnivores- Have enzymes to break down both plant and meat. Have sharp canines but “flatter” molars the carnivores. Have Longer digestive tracts than carnivores but shorter than herbivores.Digestive structures varies between species, allowing some of them to be either more carnivorous or more herbivorous.
Herbivores- Have enzymes to break down plants. Have long digestive tracts because breaking down plants takes longer. Some herbivores are ruminants, meaning that they have a four compartment stomach to help break down plant material. Teeth are flat surface to grind plants and make them easier to digest. Some have canines that may be used for fighting.
You are very silly girl.
If you look at my previous posts you will not find much differences between your copy and paste information and my analysis.
Quote:However i do not agree with the fact that you put the man on the omnivore list and that the digestive system of a carnivore is shorter just because the meat is easily digested.
The reason why it is shorter is because the meat goes bad very quickly so beside having a shorter digestive structure they must also have strong hydrochloric acid.
We have hydrochloric acid, it isn't as much as carnivores but we do have a lot. You know why, because we are omnivores. Open a biology book you idiot.
