What is a "cetacean"?

A cetacean is a marine mammal belonging to the order Cetacea, which includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises. These creatures are known for their streamlined bodies, fin-like limbs, and adaptations for living in water. They possess remarkable abilities such as diving to great depths, communicating through complex behaviors, and using echolocation to navigate and find food. Cetaceans play vital roles in marine ecosystems and are renowned for their elegance and allure in the world's oceans.

(πανφάγος)

παμφάγος

an animal or person that feeds on a wide range of both plants and meat

What is an "omnivore"?

An omnivore is an animal that consumes both plants and animals as part of its diet. This is in contrast to herbivores, which primarily consume plants, and carnivores, which primarily consume meat. Omnivores have a more varied diet than either of these two types of animals, as they are able to derive nutrients from both plant and animal sources. Some examples of omnivores include humans, bears, pigs, raccoons, and many species of birds and fish. Being an omnivore can confer certain advantages in terms of survival and adaptability, as it allows animals to take advantage of a wider range of food sources and environments. However, it can also present challenges, as the digestive systems of omnivores must be able to process both plant and animal matter, which can be quite different in terms of nutrient composition and other characteristics.

What is a "pincer"?

A pincer is a gripping organ found in various animals, including some crustaceans, insects, and arachnids. Typically, a pincer consists of two curved and pointed claws that are used to grasp and hold onto objects or prey. The claws are attached to the end of a limb or appendage, which can be moved to bring the claws together or apart. Pincers can vary in size and strength depending on the species, with some being strong enough to crush the shells of small animals or cut through vegetation. In many species, the pincers are also used as a weapon for defense against predators or rivals.
