A few tortoise species, such as the redfoot tortoise, are omnivores, which means they eat everything!
Most of the species (38) analysed in this study were insectivorous or insect-eating omnivores.
Granivores and omnivores did not change much between the two seasons.
Some guilds, such as the open space/ aerial insectivores, the background cluttered space/gleaning insectivores, and the highly cluttered space/gleaning omnivores were predominantly represented by canopy species.
The ingestion of undercooked meat is also believed to be a major source of infection in omnivores and carnivores while congenital transmission, although known to occur, is considered less important.
Insectivores did not show, however, any difference in their response to babbler as compared to drongo playback; omnivores and frugivores responded relatively equally to all treatments.
Even now we can see problems in attempting to turn omnivores into vegetarians.
We know the catastrophe we caused when we turned ruminants into omnivores.
