Grazers primarily feed on grass and low-lying vegetation, utilizing their flat teeth to efficiently cut and grind these plants. In contrast, browsers consume leaves, shoots, and tender parts of trees and shrubs, often using their longer necks and specialized teeth to reach higher foliage. This difference in feeding habits reflects their adaptations to different habitats and food availability. Ultimately, grazers and browsers occupy distinct ecological niches within their environments.
