Herbivore

A herbivore is an animal that survives by eating plants. Instead of hunting, herbivores graze on grass, leaves, fruits, and stems.

Many herbivores, like cows, deer, and elephants, have flat teeth designed for grinding plants.

They play an important role in nature by spreading seeds and helping plants grow.
