All animals can NOT make their own food like plants, they get their energy by eating other animals or plants . All animals are called consumers .
Dinosaurs were extinct along time ago, so we only saw their skeletons.

Decomposers • worm and bacteria feed on the dead bodies of
animals and plants .• They are called Decomposers.
