They hunt and eat other animals such as zebras, buffalos and antelopes. Animals that eat plants are called herbivores. As they eat a diet of grass and clover, cows are classed as herbivores.

Marine herbivores, such as sea snails and isopods, significantly impact the spread of seagrass wasting disease by creating wounds on eelgrass, facilitating pathogen entry.

It also implies the transfer of food energy from its source in plants through herbivores to carnivores (Krebs 2009). Normally, food webs consist of a number of food chains meshed together.
