    Carnivores can digest plant matter too, and herbivores can digest meat.

    Omnivore is a behavioural classification mostly. It means an animal (or person) that eats both plants and animals for energy.

    So vegans are herbivores in practice, even though as a species humans are practicing omnivores.
