An omnivore is an organism that eats both plants and animals to obtain energy to survive. They can be both first level consumers by eating plants or second level or higher consumers since they eat other animals if they are predators, but some may be scavengers as well. This picture is of bear (black bear), which are omnivores (execpt giant panda and polar bears) since they eat fruits such as berries as well as eating meat like fish.
