No those are not predators they are scavengers

SaltTheLoser:

predators are animals that eat meat

Seanchan:

Number 3 is scavengers so cross that out, And number 2 eats plants so cross that out

KingPizza:

no it's predators,predators are any animal that eats another living thing

SaltTheLoser:

C is not wrong

KingPizza:

so the predators can eat plants or animals or even both

Joe348:

what is carcasses?

SaltTheLoser:

animal carcasses are meat

Seanchan:

SaltTheLoser:

no king

SaltTheLoser:

Yes but they are dead. Predators eat LIVING and kill LIVING animals

SaltTheLoser:

scavengers are still predators

KingPizza:

we're confusing omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores @salttheloser, it's asking for the predators, not the carnivores

Joe348:

okay so which is it... theres more than one correct answer

Seanchan:

Ok 1 and 4

Joe348:

you cant give direct answers btw... have to explain 2

Seanchan:

Ok. 1 and 4 because the animals that fit into those categories hunt and kill their prey

Seanchan:

number 2 the animal eats plants, and number 3, the animal finds dead animals to eat so it has to be 1 and 4

KingPizza:

those would be carnivores though, predators can be any animals that eat any plants or animals just search it up

Joe348:

nope just 1 and 3

KingPizza:

are you sure though? Because I don't want you to get it wrong

Joe348:

i already got it right B)

KingPizza:

I'm a little confused since D has animals that also eat other animals and plants so I thought they would be predators?? And for C, well they're only eating dead organisms, I didn't think it would be correct, I guess I have some work to do

KingPizza:

anyway thanks for letting me know
