You are familiar with the concept of a zoo, right?

Okay, there's nothing I could possibly add to this, I guess you're some expert on that field. However it's very interesting, so thanks for telling :)

Yes, most of their diet is still composed by plants, so the label "omnivore" is technically not apropriate in the way they interact with their ecosystem, but the fact they that still don't refuse the occasional animal imput defenitely doesn't make them "true herbivores".

Then again, "omnivore" and "herbivore" are just labels made by mankind. Animals neither care nor are restrained by said labels, except some specialised cases like felines (which can only eat meat, for instance)

Fascinating. However they eat plants most of the time, don't they? So tell me when I'm wrong but doesn't this make them omnivores? Or some kind of mix of vegetarians and scavengers?
