OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Herbivores are primary consumers, meaning they eat producers, such as plants and algae. Giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), like these cubs at the Wolong Natural Reserve in China, are herbivores.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of large herbivores include cows, elk, and buffalo. These animals eat grass, tree bark, aquatic vegetation, and shrubby growth. Herbivores can also be medium-sized animals such as sheep and goats, which eat shrubby vegetation and grasses. Small herbivores include rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, and mice.

Detailed explanation-3: -Primary consumers are herbivores. Herbivores eat plants, algae, and other producers. They are at the second trophic level. In a grassland ecosystem, deer, mice, and even elephants are herbivores.

Detailed explanation-4: -Herbivores can be further classified into frugivores (fruit-eaters), granivores (seed eaters), nectivores (nectar feeders), and folivores (leaf eaters). Carnivores are animals that eat other animals.
