Feeding on or consuming both plant and animal matter; omnivorous.
From Greek 'amphi' (both) + 'vorous' (Latin '-vorare', to devour). Literally means 'feeding on both sides,' describing organisms that eat mixed diets.
Amphivorous animals like bears and humans are nature's ultimate survivors—we can adapt our diet to whatever's available, from berries to fish, which is why we've thrived on nearly every continent!
