👉 Monophagy is a type of diet where animals consume only one type of food, typically meat. Monophagy can be divided into two main types: carnivorous and herbivorous. Carnivorous monophagic diets include fish, birds, and reptiles, while herbivorous monophagic diets include insects and grasses. Both types of monophagic diets are characterized by a lack of digestive enzymes to break down the food, leading to increased waste output and reduced nutrient intake.
