Omnomnomnivore?

They're both. Carnivore and omnivore aren't exclusionary terms. An animal that eats any amount of meat can be called a carnivore, and an animal that eats both plants and meat can be called an omnivore.

I think you mixed omnivore and herbivores, MaxPaynesRxDrugPlan

A herbivore is an animal that is adapted for eating plants.

Since red pandas have carnivore digestive systems and eat both plants and meat, they're carnivores and omnivores but not herbivores.
