brown bears, gray wolves, wolverines, Canada lynx, great horned owls, caribou and moose. The omnivore of this group of animals is the brown bear. Brown bears live in the uplands of western North America and in coastal areas. They eat moose deer, elk, bison, caribou, salmon, berries, shrubs and basically anything else.The carnivore group starts with the gray wolf. They live in Eurasia, North America, and North Africa. they eat rodents hares, badgers, insects, caribou, elk and deer. Wolverines are next in this category. Wolverines are found in British Columbia. They eat anything that made up of meat. Last of the carnivore category but certainly not least is the Canada lynx. They live in Canada (hence the name). They eat birds, rodent, deer, and snowshoe hares. The starter of the herbivore category is the moose they are found in Europe and North America. They eat willows, bitch, lilies and pound weed. Last of the group is the caribou. They live in woodland areas in British Columbia and Yukon territory. They eat tree lichens, willows and just plain vegetation. The only one of its group is the great horned owl who is a scavenger. They live in Alberta, Canada, U.S and Brazil. They eat hares, fish, hares, squirrels, birds and carcasses.
