Leaf-eating animals, also known as folivores, primarily consume leaves as their main source of food. These animals have specialized adaptations that help them digest tough plant material. Common examples include koalas, sloths, and certain species of monkeys. Their diets often consist of leaves that are high in fiber but low in nutrients, requiring them to eat large quantities to meet their energy needs. Many leaf-eating animals have developed unique behaviors and physical traits to thrive on this diet. For instance, koalas have a slow metabolism to conserve energy, while sloths move slowly to avoid detection by predators. These adaptations allow them to survive in their specific habitats, where leaves are abundant.
