Herbivorous animals are those that feed exclusively on plants. They have evolved to eat only plant material, such as leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits and seeds. Herbivores have specialized digestive systems that allow them to break down the tough cell walls of plants and extract the nutrients they need. Herbivores include cows, horses, deer, rabbits and many species of birds. Herbivores play an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by controlling plant populations and dispersing seeds from one area to another. They also provide food for other animals higher up on the food chain such as predators or scavengers.
