Herbivores are animals that primarily eat plants. They have evolved digestive systems and teeth specifically adapted to break down plant matter.
Here are some key characteristics of herbivores:
* Diet: They consume a wide range of plant material, including leaves, stems, fruits, seeds, and roots.
* Digestive System: Herbivores have specialized digestive systems, often with longer intestines and multiple stomachs, to break down tough plant fibers.
* Teeth: They have teeth designed for grinding and chewing, typically with flat molars and incisors for biting.
Some examples of herbivores include:
* Mammals: Cows, horses, rabbits, elephants, giraffes, deer, sheep, goats
* Birds: Parrots, chickens, ducks, geese
* Insects: Grasshoppers, caterpillars, butterflies
* Fish: Some species of carp, catfish, and algae eaters
