  Carnivore, meaning 'meat eater' is any animal with a diet consisting primarily of meat, whether it comes from animals living or dead.
  Omnivore are species that consume both plants and animals as their prime food source. They are opportunistic, general feeders not exclusively adapted to eat and digest either meat or plant material exclusively.
  Herbivore, is generally limited to animals eating plants. Fungi, bacteria and protists that feed on living plants are usually termed plant pathogens. Flowering plants that obtain nutrition from other living plants are usually termed parasitic plants.  
  Troglobite is an animal that lives entirely in the dark parts of caves. Such creatures have become specially adapted for living in total darkness and over time they have evolved to develop enhanced senses of smell, taste and vibration detection, while losing anatomical features that are unessential without light, such as functioning eyes and pigmentation.
