Växtätare, or herbivores, are animals that primarily consume plants. They have specialized digestive systems that allow them to break down tough plant materials, such as cellulose. Common examples of växtätare include cows, sheep, and elephants. These animals play a crucial role in ecosystems by helping to control plant growth and providing food for carnivores. Herbivores can be classified into different categories based on their feeding habits. Some, like rabbits, are grazers that eat grass, while others, like koalas, are browsers that prefer leaves from specific trees. This diversity in feeding strategies helps maintain balance in their habitats.
