Herbivores are plant-eating mammals that munch on leaves, grass, fruits, and vegetables! These peaceful animals include gentle giants like elephants and giraffes, speedy runners like deer and zebras, and cute hoppers like rabbits. God designed herbivores with special teeth and digestive systems that help them get nutrients from plants. Many herbivores have flat molars perfect for grinding tough plant material!
From towering elephants that eat hundreds of pounds of plants every day to tiny rabbits nibbling on clover, herbivores come in all shapes and sizes! Some herbivores like cows and sheep have multiple stomach chambers to help digest grass. Others like horses have one stomach but very long intestines. Many herbivores travel in herds for safety.
