The oldest known example being Desmatodon hesperis. [15] Early tetrapods were large amphibious piscivores. While amphibians continued to feed on fish and insects, some reptiles began exploring two new food types, tetrapods (carnivory) and plants (herbivory). The entire dinosaur order ornithischia was composed of herbivorous dinosaurs. [14]
However, most tetrapod species today are amniotes, most of which are terrestrial tetrapods whose branch evolved from earlier tetrapods early in the Late Carboniferous. The key innovation in amniotes over amphibians is the amnion , which enables the eggs to retain their aqueous contents on land, rather than needing to stay in water.
The researchers found that 22.5–54.3% of the diet was fruit. [17] 65% of the diet of orangutans consists of fruit. Orangutans primarily eat fruit, along with young leaves, bark, flowers, honey, insects, and vines. One of their preferred foods is the fruit of the durian tree, which tastes somewhat like sweet custard. Orangutans discard the ...

A carnivore / ˈ k ɑːr n ɪ v ɔːr /, or meat-eater (Latin, caro, genitive carnis, meaning meat or "flesh" and vorare meaning "to devour"), is an animal or plant whose nutrition and energy requirements are met by consumption of animal tissues (mainly muscle, fat and other soft tissues) as food ...
The name is from "Western world" and is interchanged with "standard American diet" and "meat-sweet diet" due to the high amount of meat (total), red meats (particularly), dairy, sweets and refined cereals. [174] Subpar intake of whole grains, legumes, tree nuts, produce and seafood is the norm.
As with any new diet, always consult your doctor before starting. 1. 16/8 method (time-restricted eating): Eat during an 8-hour window (for example, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.) and fast for 16 hours. Susie ...
Diadectidae is an extinct family of early tetrapods that lived in what is now North America and Europe during the Late Carboniferous and Early Permian, and in Asia during the Late Permian. They were the first herbivorous tetrapods, and also the first fully terrestrial animals to attain large sizes. Footprints indicate that diadectids walked ...
