auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoCarnivores can digest plant matter too, and herbivores can digest meat.
Omnivore is a behavioural classification mostly. It means an animal (or person) that eats both plants and animals for energy.
So vegans are herbivores in practice.

Many herbivore species are also opporturnistic omnivores, so it could be argued just as much that it’s about biological specialization.
