Food supplies mammals with the energy to carry out their activities and stay alive. The types of food

mammals eat vary. Most mammals (including elephants, giraffes, deer, and horses) are herbivores or plant

eaters. Lions, wolves, and similar mammals are carnivores or meat (flesh) eaters. Humans, bears, and

raccoons are omnivores. They eat both plants and meat. A small group of mammals (including aardvarks and

anteaters) are insectivores or insect eaters. At times when food is scarce, mammals migrate, or travel to find

food. In winter, the bighorn sheep come down from the snow-covered mountains to the valley below to find

meadow grass. Some herbivore mammals (like desert dwelling ground squirrel) estivate or go to sleep during

hot dry seasons, when plant life becomes scarce. While they are sleeping, they are conserving energy and

don’t need food. Some carnivore mammals (such as the woodchuck) hibernate, or go to sleep during cold

seasons, when food is scarce.
