Facts about Herbivorous Animals

Herbivores are animals that feed on plants and fruits. The largest herbivore on earth is the African elephant. Rabbits, cows, deer, zebras are a few examples of herbivorous animals.

Herbivorous animals have wide, blunt teeth that help them to pull the plants from the ground. They possess the ability to regurgitate their food. This helps them to absorb most of the nutrients from the food. Butterflies and hummingbirds have the mouth shaped like a straw to such nectar.
