Scientists who have closely examined the digestive-tract contents of eastern box turtles claim they come about as close as it gets to the classic definition of an omnivore-they'll eat just about anything that crosses their path.
Some birds are herbivores that eat seed, pollen and buds, while others are omnivores, eating all those foods, as well as insects and worms.
Diet: Skunks are omnivores, dining mostly on insects, small rodents, and eggs. They prey on grubs and wasps, often digging up the lawn to get at the pests.
Habits: Skunks are crepuscular, meaning they are most active around dawn and dusk.
These omnivores will also eat strawberries, tree fruits, peas, potatoes, melons, and grubs found in your lawn. They will dig holes in maturing melons and munch on ripening tree fruit.
