Animals can be classified into three different types of dietary groups and those three are herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. Herbivores are consumers of producers and autotrophs as they eat mainly plants or fungi organisms. Herbivores are given their title because they stick to eating leafy greens and other plants, they do not however eat any forms of meat. Often herbivores tend to stay away from those that are meat eaters because they are creatures that hold nutrients that those meat eaters would consume in order to gain. A strange adaptation that these herbivores often have is that their teeth are more dull rather than sharp unlike carnivores because they do not use their teeth to sink into flesh of other animals. A few examples of herbivores would be koalas, llamas, cows and squirells.
