| Herbivores
only eat plants. Their teeth are flat and blunt to chew and grind the plant
material. Giraffe's have such long necks they can reach leaves at the top
of trees. Their long, dark tongues stretch up to grab leaves and twigs,
pulling the food towards their mouth. Herbivores have to eat lots and lots
of plants to provide them with enough energy each day. Many herbivores like
cattle, zebras and giraffes are hunted and eaten by carnivores, such as
lions. |
