Detailed explanation-1: -Herbivores are living things that only eat plants to get the food and energy they need. Animals like whales, elephants, cows, pigs, rabbits, and horses are herbivores.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary consumers make up the second trophic level. They are also called herbivores. They eat primary producers-plants or algae-and nothing else. For example, a grasshopper living in the Everglades is a primary consumer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Herbivores are animals that eat only plants. Carnivores are animals that eat only meat. Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and meat. The size of an animal does not determine what it eats.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are different types of consumers. An animal that eats producers, like plants or algae, is called an herbivore. Carnivores eat other consumers. This means they eat other animals.
Detailed explanation-5: -Omnivores, which feed on both plants and animals, can be considered as being both primary and secondary consumers.
