Bornivorous set

Alright kiddo, have you ever heard of a food chain before? It's like a line of animals where one eats the other. For example, a grasshopper eats a leaf, a bird eats the grasshopper, and a fox eats the bird.

Now, sometimes scientists study specific groups of animals that eat a certain type of prey. An example of this is a bornivorous set. It's a group of animals that all eat the same thing -bornivores. These are animals that eat small invertebrates like snails, clams, and worms.

So a bornivorous set would be a bunch of different animals that all eat snails, clams, and worms. This could include animals like crabs, some types of fish, and even some birds! These animals all rely on the same type of food to survive, and they're all part of the same bornivorous set.

Does that make sense to you, kiddo?
