foragers that look for food‚ but the slight difference between these two primates is in what they eat. Olive baboons are both fructivorous and omnivores.

The starfish will catch the bird while it is searching for fish to feed on and then proceed to drown it. It then eats and digests its prey. These large starfish also tend to feed on sea urchins‚ fish‚ and crabs. This makes the larger species carnivores‚ as opposed to omnivores. Even though the starfish has the ability to regenerate
