Herbivore

A herbivore is one of the three dietary categories that animals fit into. These types of consumers eat mainly autotrophs. In other words, they may eat things like plant or algae but will stay away from meat or other heterotrophs. Some examples of herbivores would be hares, gorillas, cows and even snails. Usually, these animals have adapted and evolved to having flatter teeth than their carnivore friends who need sharper teeth to rip apart their meat. Below is a picture of a cow eating grass.
