Herbivore

Animals that feed mainly on plants are called herbivores. In a food chain, herbivores are primary consumers. Herbivores range from insects to elephants. They can eat leaves, grass, flowers, seeds, roots, fruits, bark, pollen, and much more. Some examples of herbivores are: deer, horses, rabbits, cows, bees, sheep, and grasshoppers.

Herbivores are animals that only eat plants.
Carnivores are animals that only eat meat.
Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and animals.

We are classified as omnivores. Humans eat both plants and animals. For example, people can eat fruit, salad, or nuts and poultry, turkey or beef.
