Being 'herbivorous', they depend 4)'on' plants in the forest 5)'and' fulfil their 'food demand'. It is an 'intelligent animal' and 6)'can' be trained easily.  

Explanation :

In 1) ‘are’ fits perfectly as it talks about the present and it has multiple subjects. In 2) ‘in’ fits as it states a word that the subject possesses. In 3) ‘have’ fits same explanation as seen in 1). For 4) the word depend usually is followed by ‘on’. In 5), it can be seen that two statements of different meaning are combined in one sentence, therefore the word ‘and’ suits. In 6) the word should be in the present format, therefore ‘can’ fits.
