Herbivores eat mainly plants and vegetation. They have adapted to extract nutrients from plants and are often characterized by flat teeth for grinding and a long digestive system for breaking down tough plant material. Examples include cows, deer, rabbits, elephants, and many species of birds. Herbivores play an important role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems by consuming plants and controlling their growth, affecting the populations of other organisms.
