The term "omnivore" is not vague, and it does not specifically describe the three types of carnivores you mentioned (hypercarnivore, mesocarnivore, and hypocarnivore). Instead, scientifically speaking:
# Omnivores are organisms that consume both animal and plant matter as a significant part of their diet. This distinguishes them from carnivores and herbivores, as they have a more varied diet.
# Carnivores are animals that primarily eat meat. They are often categorized into: - Hyper-carnivores: Animals that derive more than 70% of their diet from meat (e.g., lions). - Meso-carnivores: Animals that consume 50-70% meat and the rest from plant sources (e.g., foxes). - Hypo-carnivores: Animals that derive less than 30% of their diet from meat (e.g., raccoons).
# Herbivores are animals that primarily consume plant matter.

Thus, scientifically, there are omnivores, carnivores (including hyper-, meso-, and hypo-carnivores), and herbivores, among other specialized classifications like insectivores (insect-eaters) or detritivores (decomposers). Omnivores are distinct from carnivores and herbivores because they have evolved to thrive on a diet that includes both plant and animal sources.
