List of herbivorous animals

The leaf beetles, such as this metallic frog beetle (Sagra femorata), are herbivorous.

The largest living land animal, the African bush elephant, is a herbivore.

This is a list of herbivorous animals, organized in a roughly taxonomic manner. In general, entries consist of animal species known with good certainty to be overwhelmingly herbivorous, as well as genera and families which contain a preponderance of such species.

Herbivorous animals are heterotrophs, meaning that they consume other organisms for sustenance. The organisms which herbivores consume are primary producers, predominantly plants (including algae). Herbivores which consume land plants may eat any or all of the fruit, leaves, sap, nectar, pollen, flowers, bark, cambium, underground storage organs like roots, tubers, and rhizomes, nuts, seeds, shoots, and other parts of plants; they frequently specialize in one or a few of these parts, though many herbivores also have quite diverse diets. ^[1]

List criteria

Animal diets are not inflexible, and most animals will stray from their typical diet on occasion; for instance, cattle will eat chicks, ^[2] and crocodiles will consume fruit. ^[3] Though it can be hard to determine what is a true aberration, as opposed to being a normal, but minor component of the diet, animals are still regarded as herbivores, carnivores, or otherwise as long as the vast majority of their diet reflects such a categorization. ^[1] Thus, several of the animals which appear on this list are commonly described as omnivores, but, where consumption of animal matter is marginal, they meet the criteria for inclusion. These cases are elaborated upon within the article.

Where quantifiable data to support such an evaluation exist, this list generally includes animals whose diets are at least ~90% herbivorous, as a simple and arbitrary minimum, though a great many listees are far more herbivorous than this; perhaps the majority are closer to 95%, and a large number are nearly purely herbivorous. However, a small selection of taxa which are not usually this herbivorous also receive mention; typically, this is done when the animal is much more herbivorous than the vast majority of close relatives. For example, the maned wolf receives mention; its diet varies from mostly carnivorous to overwhelmingly frugivorous, being mostly a fairly balanced omnivore overall, but they are still listed because no other living Canid is nearly so herbivorous. Other animals may receive mention if at least some populations of the species regularly consume very plant-heavy diets.

The issue is further complicated by variation based on region, sex, age, season, and other factors, as well as differing techniques for measuring dietary proportions and a lack of data on many species. A number of listed taxa also consume a significant quantity of fungi. On the whole, however, this list consists almost entirely of animals which are known with good certainty to be overwhelmingly herbivorous, with exceptions being noted.

Invertebrates

Insects

Herbivory is of extreme ecological importance and prevalence among insects. Perhaps one third (or 500,000) of all described species are herbivores. ^[4] Herbivorous insects are by far the most important animal pollinators, and comprise significant prey items for predatory animals, as well as acting as major parasites and predators of plants; parasitic species often induce the formation of galls. Herbivorous insects also form symbioses with numerous plants, animals, and fungi, including complex relationships with various species of ant, and have greatly impacted the evolution of plants.

• Larval mayflies are generally herbivorous; adults have short lifespans and do not eat at all. ^[5]
• Most members of the order Orthoptera; for instance, most grasshoppers and katydids are herbivores ^[6]
• Butterflies
• Many beetles of the Scarabaeoidea, including many scarabs, like the goliath and rhinoceros beetles (e.g., the hercules beetle), and all of the stag beetles
• The jewel beetles (family Buprestidae) ^[7]
• Certain ladybugs (family Coccinellidae): The subfamily Epilachninae, comprising 1/6 of all ladybug species, is entirely herbivorous, including members such as the Mexican bean beetle and the bryony ladybird. ^[8]
• The leaf beetles (family Chrysomelidae) ^[9]
• The weevils (family Curculionidae) ^[10]
• Almost all adult bees (clade Anthophila), including mason bees, honeybees, bumblebees, sweat bees, and carpenter bees
• All true bugs (order Hemiptera) outside of Heteroptera are herbivores, including cicadas, leafhoppers, treehoppers, planthoppers, aphids, scale insects, and whiteflies ^[11]
• Most Heteropterans are also herbivorous, ^[12] including most of the leaf-footed bugs, ^[13] seed bugs and their relatives, ^[14] plant bugs, ^[15] and shield, stink, and burrowing bugs and their relatives ^[16]

Other invertebrates

• Most terrestrial isopods (woodlice) are detritivores of plant matter
• Millipedes, with scarce exceptions, are also detritivores of plant matter
• Bagheera kiplingi , a jumping spider
• Garden snails and slugs

Fish

Herbivorous fish play a key role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, especially in tropical reefs, where they promote a balance between corals and macroalgae. ^[17] Herbivorous fish include:

• Acanthurus lineatus or lined surgeonfish (also known as blue-banded surgeonfish, blue-lined surgeonfish, clown surgeonfish, pajama tang, striped surgeonfish, and zebra surgeonfish) ^[17]
• Acanthurus nigrofuscus , known as the lavender tang, brown tang, or spot-cheeked surgeonfish ^[17]
• Zebrasoma scopas , known as the brown tang, two-tone tang, scopas tang or brush-tail tang. ^[17]
• The unicornfishes (Nasinae) genus is primarily herbivorous.
• Most of the nearly 100 species of the parrotfish family are herbivores. ^{[18] [19]}
• Grass carp, so named for its diet of aquatic plants.
• The various genera of pacu are mostly herbivorous.
• The majority of Loricariidae, including most pleco and Otocinclus species, are predominantly or exclusively herbivorous.

Amphibians

Unusually for tetrapods, herbivory is rare among extant adult lissamphibians. There are, however, many larval and a few adult amphibians which take significant plant matter:

• At least two species of siren (and possibly the entire family) will consume algae, though they are still primarily carnivorous or omnivorous ^[20]
• The Indian green frog is mostly herbivorous
• Xenohyla truncata , the Izecksohn's Brazilian treefrog, is significantly frugivorous ^[21]
• The majority of frog tadpoles are primarily herbivorous ^[22]

Reptiles

Squamates (lizards, snakes, and worm lizards)

All snakes and the majority of non-snake squamates (lizards) are carnivorous. However, some degree of herbivory is relatively common among lizards. Perhaps 12% of lizards have diets which are >10% herbivorous. Dedicated herbivory, with plants comprising >90% of the diet, occurs in perhaps ~1% of lizards, though estimates vary. ^[23]

• Iguanas (family Iguanidae) are overwhelmingly herbivores; members such as the rhinoceros iguana, marine iguana, green iguana, Lesser Antillean iguana, chuckwallas, desert iguana, and Galápagos land iguana are virtually exclusively herbivorous
• Members of the family Liolaemidae are herbivores
• The Panay, Northern Sierra Madre forest, and Gray's monitor lizards are the only three species of herbivorous Varanid
• Species of the Agamid genus Uromastyx , the spiny-tailed lizards, are herbivores
• Certain skinks; the Solomon Islands skink is exclusively herbivorous. King's skink is also primarily a herbivore. ^[24] The extinct Cape Verde giant skink was herbivorous.

Chelonians (turtles/tortoises)

• Tortoises, comprising the family Testudinidae, are all almost exclusively herbivorous
• Adult green sea turtles are herbivorous, uniquely among sea turtles

Dinosaurs (non-avian)

    • Ceratopsians ^[25]
    • Pachycephalosaurs
  • Thyreophora
    • Stegosaurs
    • Ankylosaurs
  • Ornithopods
    • Hadrosaurs
• Theropods
  • Therizinosaurs

Birds

Although, by some counts, only 2-3% of extant bird species are primarily herbivorous, ^{[26] [27]} herbivorous birds are nonetheless incredibly diverse, having evolved independently within at least nine distinct lineages. Herbivorous birds include important pollinators and seed dispersers, as well as both the smallest and largest living birds (the bee hummingbird and the common ostrich, respectively). On islands with little to no mammalian colonization, large herbivorous birds frequently evolved to assume niches typically held by mammals, sometimes attaining enormous sizes; on the Hawaiian Islands, New Zealand, Madagascar, Mauritius, New Caledonia, and Fiji, birds were nearly if not the largest terrestrial herbivores, though the vast majority are now extinct. Birds which are mostly herbivorous as adults will frequently feed their young a far more insectivorous diet, though there are many exceptions. ^[28]

Paleognathes

• Ratites , excluding the kiwis, are often described as omnivorous, and will eat varying quantities of small animals and insects. However, the typical wild diet for non-kiwi ratites is overwhelmingly and sometimes exclusively herbivorous: ^[29]

  • Rheas: ^{[29] [26]} the lesser rhea ^{[32] [33]} and greater rhea ^{[34] [35]} are essentially 100% herbivorous (though this can drop to 97% for greater rheas in some cases)
  • Emus may be nearly 100% herbivorous in wild habitats, but can also engage in significant insectivory at times ^{[29] [36] [37] [26]}

  • The (recently extinct) moas ^{[26] [41]} (order Dinornithiformes) and elephant birds ^{[26] [42]} (order Aepyornithiformes) were herbivores
  • Tinamous: although data are scarce, many tinamous are quite omnivorous, and some are primarily insectivores. ^{[29] [43]} However, the vast majority of tinamous are primarily herbivorous, ^{[26] [44]} sometimes nearly exclusively:
    • Crypturellus species, such as the yellow-legged ^[45] and Tataupa tinamous, ^[46] are predominantly frugivorous, with some (largely seasonal) insect consumption ^[47]
    • Nothura and Nothoprocta species are predominantly granivorous or seed-eating; ^{[43] [47]} the Andean tinamou ^[48] is over 90% herbivorous, while Darwin's nothura is ~95% herbivorous or more, and the ornate tinamou averages nearly 99% ^[44]
    • Many Tinamus species are overwhelmingly frugivorous, ^[47] such as the solitary tinamou; ^[43] the black tinamou has only been observed eating fruits and seeds, but is assumed to consume some insects ^[49]

Galloanserae

• Anseriformes : the ducks and their relatives are predominantly herbivorous; ^[50] although a few species consume primarily animal matter and several are heavily omnivorous, at least a quarter of the 99 species included in one study were 70% herbivorous or more. ^[26] Herbivorous taxa are varied, including:
  • The screamers, ^[26] such as the southern screamer ^[51] and the horned screamer, ^[52] are totally herbivorous
  • Magpie geese are essentially purely herbivorous ^{[26] [53] [54]}

    • Certain Mareca species are seemingly nearly wholly herbivorous, such as the wigeons ^{[92] [93] [94] [95]}
    • The four species of moa-nalo were herbivorous; they were large, flightless Anatids native to Hawaii and became extinct in historic times ^{[26] [96]}
    • Many other Anatid species have diets which vary seasonally; near-exclusive herbivory or carnivory are both possible at different times of year. Many are predominantly herbivorous overall, but they are not typically as herbivorous as most of the taxa listed above ^[26]
• Galliformes , or the landfowl, are virtually all predominantly herbivorous, ^{[97] [98]} including:

  • The cracids are nearly all highly frugivorous herbivores; ^{[102] [103]} the typical guans, piping guans, chachalacas, black guan, highland guan, horned guan, great curassow, and black curassow all have diets which typically contain <10% animal matter, and frequently almost none ^{[26] [104] [105]}
  • Many New World quails; the mountain quail's annual diet is 95-97% herbivorous, ^{[106] [107]} while the California quail is almost entirely herbivorous year-round, ^{[26] [108] [109]} and Gambel's quail is ~95% herbivorous annually (though this can drop to 85% in summer). ^[110] Juveniles also tend to be exceptionally herbivorous
  • A very large selection of Phasianids (though at least some insectivory is typical, especially seasonally and among females):
    • Snow partridges and blood pheasants ^[111]
    • All of the tragopans; ^[112] the satyr tragopan's diet is ~93% herbivorous during the post-monsoon, and otherwise nearly exclusively herbivorous; ^[113] Temminck's tragopan is overwhelmingly herbivorous year-round ^[114]
    • The monal-partridges ^{[115] [116]}
    • Monals ^[117]
    • The turkeys:
      • Wild turkeys are overwhelmingly herbivorous; although a few studies on annual dietary composition yield values of around 85% herbivorous, most find values at least somewhat above 90%, and values close to 100% are also common ^{[26] [118] [119] [120] [121]}

      • Male Chinese grouse are purely herbivorous and females are >90% herbivorous; ^[127] hazel grouse males are purely herbivorous, but some females will consume large quantities of insects in spring (although others are nearly purely herbivorous as well); ^[128] both are herbivorous in winter ^[129]
      • The sage grouse can be ~90% herbivorous in summer and around 97% herbivorous overall ^{[130] [131]}
      • The blue grouse: dusky grouse are 98% herbivorous overall and a little less than 90% at lowest, in summer, ^{[132] [133]} while sooty grouse are 98-100% herbivorous year-round ^[133]
      • Sharp-tailed grouse are 96% herbivorous in spring and summer, ^[134] and most studies find them to be nearly wholly herbivorous in fall, ^[135] although grasshoppers can comprise 1/3 of the diet in some cases; ^{[134] [136]} they are by far the most herbivorous member of their genus
      • All three species of ptarmigan are almost exclusively herbivorous year-round; though they will take insects opportunistically, they are not a major component of the overall diet, even seasonally ^{[26] [137] [138] [139]}
      • Spruce grouse are >99% herbivorous year-round; ^{[140] [141]} Siberian grouse are ~98% herbivorous but may eat some insects seasonally ^{[26] [140]}

Neoaves

• The lesser flamingo ^{[170] [171]} and James's flamingo ^[172] feed nearly exclusively on cyanobacteria and algae (e.g. diatoms); they are the only herbivorous flamingo species and a rare example of terrestrial, filter-feeding herbivores. Their young consume mainly crop milk
• The vast majority of the >300 species of pigeon (order Columbiformes) are almost entirely herbivorous, ^{[173] [174] [175]} including young, which consume crop milk along with adult foods. Herbivorous pigeons include:
  • Most of tribe Zenaidini:
    • The quail-doves and some relatives are especially insectivorous for pigeons, ^[174] but most species are still overwhelmingly frugivorous/granivorous, ^[176] such as the ruddy quail-dove ^{[175] [176]} and the white-tipped dove (which is nearly 100% herbivorous) ^{[175] [177] [178] [179]}

• All 16 species of sandgrouse (order Pterocliformes) are almost exclusively herbivorous, eating primarily small seeds. ^{[292] [293] [294]} The pin-tailed sandgrouse and black-bellied sandgrouse may be 98% and 99% herbivorous, respectively, ^[295] while the Pallas's sandgrouse ^[296] and Namaqua sandgrouse ^{[297] [298]} are both apparently 100% herbivorous. The painted sandgrouse is herbivorous apart from minor, seasonal insect consumption ^[299]
• Two lineages of Strisores:
  • The oilbird (the only species in order Steatornithiformes) has a diet consisting almost entirely of fruit. ^{[300] [301] [302]} It is the only herbivorous Strisore apart from the hummingbirds, as well as the only nocturnal, frugivorous flying bird in the world; their young are also frugivores
  • Virtually all of the >300 species of hummingbird (family Trochilidae) are overwhelmingly nectarivorous. ^{[303] [304]} Insectivory is widespread and nutritionally important, but the typical diet is probably about 90% nectar and 10% arthropod by mass, ^{[303] [305]} with time budget records yielding similar ratios (~5-15% of feeding time devoted to insectivory). Exceptional (including exclusive) and sustained insectivory has been documented, although these accounts have also been met with skepticism. ^[306] On the opposite extreme, overwhelmingly nectarivorous diets have also been documented for several species:
    • Populations of shining sunbeam have been recorded spending 93-97% of total feeding time on nectar ^[307]
    • Purple-throated caribs have had nectar feeding time budgets of >99% recorded ^[308] (although extremely low figures are also recorded for this species, but they are likely erroneous ^[306] )
    • In fiery-throated hummingbirds, insectivory comprises a little over 1% of total feeding time in males, and ~8% in breeding females ^[306]
• Cuckoos (order Cuculiformes) are largely insectivorous or omnivorous. A small number, however, are primarily frugivores, ^[309] including the Asian koel ^{[310] [311]} and the channel-billed cuckoo , ^{[312] [313]} though both also consume a small but significant quantity of animal matter. The dwarf koel may be entirely frugivorous. ^{[313] [314]} Young of the former two species (which are brood parasites) will eat partially or wholly fruit diets if they are reared by frugivorous species
• All 23 species of turaco (order Musophagiformes) are either exclusively herbivorous or consume very small amounts of invertebrates; ^[309] they are largely fruit-eaters, though leaves and other plant parts can be important. Fruits and leaves make up 98-100% of the diets of the great blue, Rwenzori, and black-billed turacos; ^[315] the western plantain-eater ^[316] and violet turaco ^[317] are virtually wholly frugivorous
• The bustards (order Otidiformes) are quite omnivorous, and their diets are variable; several consume mostly animal matter, either seasonally or year-round. However, it has been suggested that the majority of bustards are predominantly herbivorous; ^[318] such species for which data are available include:
  • The diet of the great bustard can be as low as 60% or 70% herbivorous seasonally, but is 87.5%, 93%, or nearly 100% herbivorous annually, with some populations consuming 4% animal matter at most ^{[295] [319] [320]}
  • One study finds the little bustard to be 26% insectivorous in winter and ~40% otherwise; ^[295] however, other studies find that the winter diet is 100% herbivorous, ^[321] or that the diet is 97-100% herbivorous year round ^[322]
  • The food part of the karoo korhaan's diet is 86-87% plant matter ^[323]
• The hoatzin , the sole living member of Opisthocomiformes, is 100% herbivorous; ^{[324] [325]} they are largely folivorous, including young, and have unique gastrointestinal adaptations to this diet
• A selection of gruiforms are predominantly herbivorous, including:
  • All three of the trumpeters (family Psophiidae) are ~90% frugivorous, with the remainder of their diets consisting of small animals ^{[326] [327]}
  • Although the cranes (family Gruidae) are omnivorous to varying degrees, most are primarily herbivorous:
    • The Siberian crane is predominantly and sometimes exclusively herbivorous, ^{[328] [329] [330]} though precise data are scarce
    • The sandhill crane's diet varies, but has been found to be 80%, ^[331] 85%, ^[332] or over 95% ^{[333] [334] [335]} herbivorous across various seasons and locales; much lower figures (~11%) have also been recorded, ^[336] but are less typical
    • Though precise data are lacking, the white-naped crane, ^{[337] [338]} brolga, ^{[339] [340] [341]} and sarus crane ^{[341] [342]} are also heavily herbivorous
    • Most (but not all) other cranes are overwhelmingly herbivorous, including the blue crane ^{[343] [344]} and wattled crane. ^[345] The common crane is >90% herbivorous in winter, ^[346] while the winter diet of black-necked cranes is 86% herbivorous. ^[347] The demoiselle crane is 80-97% herbivorous during spring and autumn migration ^{[348] [349]}
  • Although exact data are lacking, the rails (family Rallidae) are mostly omnivores. ^[350] However, several species lean herbivorous, and a few are overwhelmingly herbivorous:
    • The Tasmanian native-hen feeds overwhelmingly on plants, with some minor insect consumption ^{[351] [352] [353]}
    • The coots (genus Fulica) are all overwhelmingly herbivorous; ^[354] the American coot may be 90% or 97% herbivorous, ^{[355] [356]} while the Eurasian coot has been found to be 97% herbivorous. ^[357] The red-knobbed coot may be nearly 100% herbivorous ^[358]
    • Most of the swamphens (genus Porphyrio) are extremely herbivorous; the takahē, ^{[359] [360]} grey-headed swamphen, ^{[361] [362]} and Australasian swamphen ^{[363] [364]} are all nearly 100% herbivorous
• Two lineages of Charadriiformes contain a few overwhelmingly herbivorous species:
  • The buttonquails are largely omnivores, but a few species are especially herbivorous, such as the little buttonquail ^[365] and the yellow-legged buttonquail ^[366]
  • All four species of seedsnipe (family Thinocoridae) are virtually purely herbivorous ^{[367] [368]}
• The palm-nut vulture is the only primarily herbivorous accipitriform in the world; its diet may be 45-65% herbivorous, ^{[369] [370] [371]} and young may be fed diets which are >90% herbivorous. They specialize in the fruits of palms, but will also consume fish and other animal matter. Many other accipitriforms will consume some plant matter, ^[372] but far less regularly
• All six species of mousebird are almost entirely herbivorous, with insect consumption being rarely documented; ^[373] they are largely frugivorous, including the white-backed mousebird ^[374] and speckled mousebird ^[375]
• All five of the quetzals in genus Pharomachrus are specialized frugivores; ^{[376] [377]} species such as the resplendent quetzal ^{[378] [379]} are almost entirely herbivorous as adults. Quetzals are the most herbivorous of the trogons, but several other species are also quite herbivorous, especially in genus Trogon ^[377]
• A large number of hornbill species (family Bucerotidae) are overwhelmingly herbivorous; these species are important seed dispersers and mostly frugivorous, although they will take animals, particularly while rearing young. ^[380] They include such birds as:
  • The black-casqued and yellow-casqued hornbills are overwhelmingly frugivorous; ^[381] the former has been recorded as 94% herbivorous during nesting season ^[382]
  • All the Bycanistes hornbills: the black-and-white casqued, ^[383] brown-cheeked, piping, ^[382] and silvery-cheeked hornbills ^[384] all have nesting season diets which are 90-94% herbivorous
  • Every Rhyticeros hornbill: the Narcondam hornbill and Sumba hornbill have no animal food recorded in their diets (but likely consume a small amount), while the wreathed hornbill is over 95% herbivorous. ^[385] The red-knobbed hornbill and plain-pouched hornbill both have nesting diets which are 1% insectivorous ^{[386] [387]}
  • The rufous-necked hornbill is primarily frugivorous, taking small amounts of animal matter, ^[388] while the Sulawesi hornbill is 85% frugivorous during nesting season. ^[389] The related Penelopides species are also very herbivorous ^[390]
  • The helmeted hornbill is frugivorous with very minor animal consumption, perhaps ~1% of the diet, even during nesting. ^{[391] [392]} However, extended time dedicated to hunting has also been reported
  • The hornbills of genus Buceros are extremely herbivorous: the breeding season diet of the rhinoceros hornbill is ~96% herbivorous, ^[393] whereas that of the great hornbill is 95-99% herbivorous ^{[393] [394] [395]}
  • The Anthracoceros hornbills are overwhelmingly herbivorous, ^[396] such as the Malabar pied hornbill. ^[397] The oriental pied hornbill may be 93% herbivorous during breeding season ^[387] or nearly totally herbivorous overall ^[394]
  • The Ocyceros hornbills: the non-breeding diet of the Indian grey hornbill is ~92% herbivorous, ^[398] while the breeding diet of the Malabar grey hornbill is 86% herbivorous ^[399]
• Ramphastides as a whole is comprised largely of herbivores, including birds such as:
  • The various birds called barbets, comprising four closely related families, are generally frugivores with some animal consumption, ^[400] and include many especially herbivorous species:
    • Certain Asian barbets (family Megalaimidae):
      • Especially herbivorous nestling diets have been reported for the crimson-fronted barbet and red-throated barbet, at 2% and 5% animal items respectively. ^{[401] [402]} The gold-whiskered barbet has a nestling diet which is 82% herbivorous, ^[403] while that of the blue-eared barbet is 85% plant matter; ^[404] adult diets are likely even more herbivorous
      • The black-browed barbet is 90% frugivorous, ^[405] while the golden-throated barbet is a frugivore which infrequently takes arthropods ^[406]
    • Certain African barbets (family Lybiidae): the yellow-rumped tinkerbird ^{[407] [408]} and black-collared barbet ^[409] are both described as overwhelmingly frugivorous
    • The two species of toucan-barbet (family Semnornithidae):
      • The prong-billed barbet is almost exclusively herbivorous, only taking insects to feed young, and even that rarely ^{[410] [411] [377]}
      • Ten toucan-barbets were found to have only eaten plants, ^[377] while 73% of all items they feed to nestlings are plants ^[412] (treating a single insect as one item, and so likely underestimating plant consumption)
    • Many Capito species, New World barbets in the family Capitonidae, are exceptionally herbivorous; 80% of 41 black-spotted barbets had only plants in their stomachs, ^[377] while related species had similar or higher numbers, but smaller sample sizes
  • Virtually every species of toucan (family Ramphastidae) is overwhelmingly frugivorous. ^{[410] [413]} Toucans are well-documented as taking diverse animal prey items, especially to feed young, but the occurrence of animals in adult diets is likely overemphasized; in one study of 32 species and 326 individual stomachs, only 5.5% contained arthropods, while only 1.2% contained vertebrates. ^[377] Toucans comprise five genera:
    • The green toucanets (genus Aulacorhynchus), ^[377] such as the emerald toucanet, whose nestling diet is 85-97% herbivorous; ^[414] in one study, <1% of foraging attempts by adults entailed successful insect capture, most being fed to nestlings ^[415]
    • The aracaris (genus Pteroglossus): ^{[377] [416]} 30 total stomachs belonging to red-necked aracari and lettered aracari only contained plants, while the collared aracari and fiery-billed aracari are almost exclusively frugivorous, with only occasional adult consumption of animal matter. ^[417] The pale-mandibled aracari is only 5.6% insectivorous outside breeding season, ^[418] and the saffron toucanet is 7% insectivorous year-round ^[419]
    • The dichromatic toucanets (genus Selenidera): ^{[377] [420]} 90% of 28 golden-collared toucanet stomachs contained only fruit, while the spot-billed toucanet is 97% herbivorous annually ^[419]
    • The mountain toucans (genus Andigena); ^[421] the plate-billed mountain toucan is 98% frugivorous, mainly taking insects only for young ^{[422] [423]}
    • The toucans of genus Ramphastos: ^[377] the toco toucan is 95% to 97% herbivorous overall, ^{[424] [425]} while the channel-billed and red-breasted toucans may be 96% or 100% herbivorous, respectively ^[419]
• Two genera of Melanerpine woodpeckers contain species which can be exceptionally herbivorous, in certain locations and seasons (but not, generally, overall):
  • The genus Melanerpes : ^[426]
    • The red-headed woodpecker may devote nearly all foraging time to acorns in October, ^[427] while wintering birds in Illinois took 95.5% plants ^[428]
    • The diet of adult acorn woodpeckers in the breeding season in California has been estimated to be 90% acorn, on the basis of isotope analysis, ^[429] but birds in Mexico are about 50% herbivorous year-round ^[430]
    • The red-bellied woodpecker can be ~65% herbivorous across fall and winter ^[431] or 94-96% herbivorous in winter ^[428]
    • The white-fronted woodpecker ranges from ~45% herbivorous in late spring to >90% in winter ^[432]
  • The sapsuckers (genus Sphyrapicus): the yellow-bellied sapsucker can spend 77% of feeding time on sap in winter, ^[433] but is 50% herbivorous across the year ^[434]
• Probably all of the approximately 400 species of parrot (order Psittaciformes) are nearly totally herbivorous, ^{[435] [436]} though occasional deviations are observed for some species:
  • The New Zealand parrots (Strigopidae):
    • The kea is among the most omnivorous of parrots, famously taking invertebrates, small vertebrates, carrion, and even feeding from living sheep. ^{[436] [437]} However, the overall diet is exceptionally herbivorous, with estimates ranging from 70% to 95%; ^{[438] [439]} during the fruiting season, they may be close to 100% herbivorous ^[440]

Mammals

Herbivory is quite common among mammals, with herbivores occurring across diverse lineages and in a large variety of sizes, bodyplans, and niches. Both large and small herbivorous mammals are often important prey species for various predators, though the largest, such as the so-called "pachyderms", are generally safe from predation as healthy adults. Large, herbivorous mammals came to dominate global ecosystems in the Cenozoic, and, though vastly reduced in number, they continue to be key features of certain modern ecosystems, such as the Maasai Mara and Kaziranga National Park.
