Herbivores are animals that only eat plants, including grass they get most of there energy from plant and can spend most or all day eating plants. They do this so they can get the right amount of energy. They also have adapted to teeth that help them grind up the plants they eat and if they were not hunted they would over populate our forest and other areas

Herbivores are those organisms that eat only plant matter, or those that we commonly refer to as being vegetarians. Herbivores are classified on the basis of which part each type of herbivore predominantly eats. For example, frugivores, such as the American robin, the cedar waxwing, the Pesquet's parrot, many varieties of bats, the gray-bellied night monkey, the ring-tailed lemur and the white-headed capuchin mainly eat fruit. Foliovores are predominantly leaf-eating herbivores, such as the okapi, the sloth, the possum, the kuala bear, various species of monkeys, the hoatzin, the kakapo, the iguana, the caterpillar, the sawfly, the beetle and the orthoptera. Nectarivores, such as insects, birds, bats, geckos and the Australian honey possum, feed on nectar.

There are also seed-eating herbivores (granivores, such as the true bug, the ant, the beetle, the moth, the parasitic wasp, the finch and the Hawaiian honeycreeper), pollen-eating herbivores (palynivores, such as the bee, the wasp, the thrip and several types of beetles, flies, moths and butterflies), plant-fluid feeders (mucivores), wood-eating herbivores (xylophages such as termites) and root-eating herbivores (rhizophages). Several types of fungi, bacteria and protists (which are commonly called plant pathogens), microbes that eat mainly dead plant matter (saprotrophs) and flowering plants (parasitic plants) are also herbivores. Of the five largest animals in the world, known as the 'big five' (the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the buffalo and the rhinoceros), three–the elephant, the buffalo and the rhinoceros–are herbivores. Most of the animals that are useful to man are herbivores.
