What is Grazer?
[[File:Moose (or is it meese-) on Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge.webm|thumb|Moose on Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge]] A '''grazer''' is an animal, usually a [[herbivorous]] [[mammal]], which eats [[grass]]. It is contrasted with [[browser]]s, which eat trees & shrubs. The life-style, [[dentition]] (teeth), and [[digestive system]] of grazers is different from browsers, to handle the problems of eating and digesting grass. This is well illustrated in the [[evolution]] of such groups as [[horse]]s. [[Ruminant]]s are the largest group of grazers, though many other animals such as [[giant panda]]<nowiki/>s also graze. When grazers keep eating grass in an area without giving the plants time to grow back, that is called overgrazing. {{-}} {{biology-stub}} {{Agriculture footer}} [[Category:Animals by eating behaviors]]
