Why don't herbivores eat wolfsbane?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Herbivores generally do not eat wolfsbane because it contains the toxic compound aconitine, which can be harmful and even fatal to animals. Herbivores have evolved to recognize and avoid plants with toxic compounds as a means of self-preservation. Additionally, wolfsbane has a bitter taste which further deters herbivores from consuming it.

Is a zebra and kangaroo a plant eater?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the species, although no species of kangaroos are purely carnivores. The animals most commonly known as kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals. Kangaroos are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud. These kangaroos include the larger red and grey kangaroos, as well as wallaroos, wallabies, quokkas, potoroos and bettongs/rat-kangaroos. Bettongs also eat fungi and tubers.

Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit. Some varieties of tree kangaroo are omnivores, eating insects and other invertebrates. The Goodfellow's tree kangaroo has been known to eat eggs and small birds as well.

Smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.
