Here are examples of animals that have a herbivore (plant-eating) diet, grouped by major animal types:
Mammals
- Cow (cattle)
- Sheep
- Goat
- Horse
- Donkey
- Deer (e.g., white-tailed deer, elk)
- Rabbit and hare
- Guinea pig
- Mouse/vole (many species are herbivorous)
- Beaver (mostly wood and plants)
- Capybara
- Elephant
- Giraffe
- Koala (eucalyptus leaves)
- Giant panda (primarily bamboo)
- Kangaroo and wallaby
Birds
- Goose
- Duck (many species eat a lot of plant material)
- Turkey (largely plant matter)
- Pigeon and dove
- Parrot (many species eat seeds, fruits, nuts)
- Hoatzin (leaf-eating bird)
- Finch (seed-eating species)
Reptiles and amphibians
- Green iguana
- Tortoises (e.g., Galápagos tortoise)
- Some turtles (e.g., many pond and sea turtles, though diet varies)
- Some herbivorous frogs in juvenile stages (species-dependent)
Fish
- Parrotfish (eat algae/coral-associated plants)
- Surgeonfish (algae grazers)
- Grass carp (consumes aquatic plants)
- Tilapia (largely herbivorous/omnivorous depending on species)
Insects and arthropods
- Grasshopper
- Caterpillars (many species feed on leaves)
- Aphids
- Leafcutter ants (farm fungus on leaves; rely on plant material)
- Stick insects (phasmids)
Other invertebrates
- Garden snails and slugs
- Terrestrial isopods (woodlice, many feed on decaying plant matter)
- Sea urchins (many graze on algae)
Note: Some animals are obligate herbivores (almost exclusively plant-eating) while others are primarily herbivorous but may eat animal matter occasionally. If you want herbivores from a specific region, ecosystem, or a longer list, tell me which and I’ll refine it.
