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. An herbivore is an animal that mainly eats plants.

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 (consumers) Herbivores nourish plants that take energy from the sun. For example, rabbits, cows, sheep, giraffes, elephants, caterpillars, and grasshoppers are types of herbivores. These primary consumers (generalists) transform plant tissue into animal tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -With a diet comprised of only plants, herbivores can be surprisingly large animals. Examples of large herbivores include cows, elk, and buffalo. These animals eat grass, tree bark, aquatic vegetation, and shrubby growth.
