Grazers
Grazers are herbivorous animals that primarily feed on grass and other low-lying vegetation. They play a crucial role in ecosystems by helping to maintain plant growth and promoting biodiversity. Common examples of grazers include cattle, sheep, and deer. Their feeding habits can influence the structure of plant communities and the availability of resources for other species.
These animals typically have specialized teeth and digestive systems that allow them to efficiently process fibrous plant material. Grazers often move in herds, which can provide protection from predators and enhance foraging efficiency. Their grazing patterns can also impact soil health and nutrient cycling in their habitats.
