\huge{\orange{\boxed{\fcolorbox{lime}{cornsilk}{\pink{ANSWER}}}}} \\

☕ Herbivores or herbivorous animals are those animals which feed on plants, leaves, fruits and other natural food for nutrition. They are known as primary consumers and lie at level 2 in the food chain. Cow, goat, giraffe, sheep, zebra, etc are herbivores. The herbivores that feed on fruits are known as frugivores while folivores are herbivores that feed on leaves.

CHARACTERISTICS ;-

  1. They feed specifically on plants.
  2. They require sufficient energy to survive.
  3. Herbivorous animals start digesting the food as soon as it enters the mouth due to the acidic saliva.
  4. Few herbivores have a pair of sharp-edged, broad front teeth which helps in gnawing food products.

EXAMPLES ;-

  • Herbivorous insects include butterflies, grasshoppers, treehoppers, etc.

  • Iguanas and tortoises are herbivorous reptiles.

  • Goose and parrot are herbivorous birds.
