Answer key (for teachers)
- Komodo dragon: carnivore; laying eggs (oviparous)
- Banteng: herbivore; giving birth to live young (viviparous)
- Sun bear: omnivore; giving birth to live young (viviparous)
- Sumatran tiger: carnivore; giving birth to live young (viviparous)
- Proboscis monkey: herbivore; giving birth to live young (viviparous)
- Maleo: omnivore; laying eggs (oviparous)
- Javan hawk-eagle: carnivore; laying eggs (oviparous)
- Dugong: herbivore; giving birth to live young (viviparous)
- Bali myna: omnivore; laying eggs (oviparous)
- Mahakam Irrawaddy dolphin: carnivore; giving birth to live young (viviparous)
Activity 2: herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat other animals, omnivores eat both. Oviparous animals lay eggs that hatch outside the mother; in ovoviviparous animals the eggs hatch inside the mother and the young are then born.
