Herbivorous animals

The herbivores are those whose diet is based on plants, flowers, seaweed, fruits, seeds, wood, etc. However, in certain cases, some herbivorous animals can eat eggs or other animal proteins.

Classification of herbivorous animals

Also, it is important to say that not all herbivorous animals eat the same way. Thus, these can be subclassified:

• Frugivorous animals . They are animals that base their diet (totally or partially) on fruits. Examples of fruit-eating animals are the bat, tapir, flying fox, bonobo, macaque, lemur, and the Bornean orangutan.
• Folivorous animals. They are herbivorous animals that feed mainly on leaves. They are also called philophages or foliophages. Examples of these folivorous animals are the sloth, koala, howler monkey, iguana, slug, beetles, caterpillars, rabbit, buffalo, rhinoceros, cow, elk, etc.
• Xylophagous animals. These animals eat wood. For example, termites, and beetles. The panda bear and the beaver also eat wood, but in less quantity than the previous ones so they are not considered xylophagous animals .
• Granivorous animals. They are animals that feed on plant seeds. Examples of this type of granivorous animals are the lovebird, parakeet, nymph, certain insects, yaco, etc. Some of these, although they are based on their diet in seeds, also eat small insects so that certain granivorous animals cannot be called herbivorous animals . Those that are not herbivorous animals , but are granivorous animals (that is, they also eat other animals or insects) are: the hamster, pigeon, duck and turkey.
