Question
Q2. Describe some common herbivores that might live in a rain forest.
- In a rain forest, common plant-eating animals include sloths, monkeys, tapirs, deer, rodents, birds, cassowaries, tree kangaroos, possums, wallabies, and leaf-cutter ants. These animals are important in the rain forest ecosystem as they eat vegetation. Sloths move slowly and eat leaves, monkeys and birds consume various plant parts, and tapirs help spread seeds, enhancing biodiversity. Leaf-cutter ants are intriguing herbivores that grow fungus on the leaves they gather. These herbivores help keep the rain forest ecosystem balanced through their eating habits and plant interactions.
