National Park of American Samoa

Carnivores, Herbivores, Omnivores?

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Most animals can be grouped by what and how many kinds of foods they eat. Animals that eat many different things are called generalists, while those that eat only one or a few foods are called specialists. True specialization is often a two-way dependency: an animal depends on a plant for food, and the plant depends on that animal to help it disperse its seeds. On remote islands like American Samoa, there are limited food supplies, and cyclones can cause serious shortages of food.
