List of feeding behaviours
Feeding is the process by which organisms, typically animals, obtain food. Terminology often uses either the suffix ''-vore'' from Latin ''vorare'', meaning "to devour", or ''phagy'', from Greek ''φαγειν'', meaning "to eat".
==Evolutionary history==
The evolution of different feeding strategies is varied with some feeding strategies evolving several times in independent lineages. In terrestrial vertebrates, the earliest forms were large amphibious piscivores 400 million years ago. While amphibians continued to feed on fish and later insects, reptiles began exploring two new food types, other tetrapods (carnivory), and later, plants (herbivory). Carnivory was a natural transition from insectivory for medium and large tetrapods, requiring minimal adaptation (in contrast, a complex set of adaptations was necessary for feeding on highly fibrous plant materials).
