Extinct omnivores were smart mammals that ate both plants and meat long ago! These flexible eaters could munch on fruits, nuts, and berries one day, then catch fish or hunt small animals the next. Eating different foods helped them survive when certain foods were hard to find. Many omnivores were very intelligent and could solve problems to get their meals!
These amazing animals used their smarts to find food! Some had strong teeth for both chewing plants and eating meat. Others had clever paws for grabbing different types of food. Many extinct omnivores lived in groups or families. Being able to eat many different things made omnivores successful in lots of different places around the world!
