Herbivore

A herbivore is an animal that primarily eats plants, such as grasses, leaves, fruits, and vegetables. Unlike predators that hunt other animals for food, herbivores rely on plant material for their nutrition. They have specialized body parts, like strong teeth and digestive systems, to efficiently process plant fibers. Examples include deer, rabbits, cows, and elephants. Herbivores play a crucial role in ecosystems by helping plants reproduce through seed dispersal and maintaining balanced food webs. Their diets and adaptations vary widely depending on their environment and the types of plants available.
