feeding strategies

Feeding strategies refer to the various methods organisms use to obtain and consume food, shaped by their environment and biological needs. Examples include herbivory, where animals eat plants; carnivory, where they consume other animals; and omnivory, which involves a mix of both. Some species have specialized adaptations, like long tongues for reaching nectar or sharp teeth for tearing flesh. These strategies affect food chains and ecosystems, influencing how energy flows through nature and how species interact with one another and their surroundings. Overall, they highlight the diverse ways life sustains itself on Earth.
