Pronunciation: /ˈhɝː.bə.vɔːr/

Origin: The herb in herbivore reminds you that herbivores eat plants rather than other animals. If you know any giraffes, deer, or vegetarians, you might have some herbivore friends. If you have a friend named Herb, let him know he's safe around them. Unless Herb is your favorite houseplant.

Short description: any animal that feeds chiefly on grass and other plants.
