vegan= no meat or dairy products and vegetarian=just no meat
Most frogs are carnivores as adults, feeding on insects such as grasshoppers, mosquitoes, moths, beetles and crickets, as well as worms, Spiders and snails. Contrary to popular opinion, they are not all insectivorous as some species may eat vertebrates such as lizards, small fish, other frogs, reptiles such as baby freshwater turtles, small birds and even mammals such as rodents and small bats. Frogs have teeth, and while these are not used to chew their food, they are used for gripping large prey.
However, it is important to note that tadpoles, the juvenile form of frogs, can range from herbivore, eating algae and decayed plant matter, to omnivores, as some tadpoles such as bullfrog tadpoles, known for their size in contrast to other North American Species, will eat animal proteins.

What is the biggest herbivore on earth?
It is probaly either Seismosaurus, Sauroposeidon, or Brachiosaurus but they're all pretty enormous. Brachiosaurus is the size of a 5 story building!
Edit: It depends on what you mean by ''Biggest''. Usually that means the most massive or heaviest. The biggest group of herbivorous dinosaurs where the sauropods (the ''long necks'').
Every dinosaur weight or mass you have ever heard is an estimate. Estimates are difficult when you only have the bones because of the uncertainties of unknown soft tissue. Also the largest known dinosaurs arrn't very complete which makes estimating even harder. In short there is no straight answer.
Take Brachiosaurus brancai (some call it Giraffatitan brancai ). It has been estimated as low as 15 tons and as high as 80 tons using different estimates.
Those two estimates are extreme and are generally thought to be wrong. Most estimates these days put it in the 25-30 ton range.
Argentinosaurus is undoubtingly a massive animal but it isn't fully known. There are a lot of uncertainties as to its exact proportions. Estimates have ranged from 60 -100 tons.
There are other, even less complete giant dinosaurs which 'might' be bigger.
Here are some other potential candidates to look into:
Amphicoelias, Futalognkosaurus, Puertasaurus, Paralititan, Antarctosaurus, Sauroposeidon, Turiasaurus
There are also some giant hadrosaurs (duck bill dinosaurs) that grew very large. But not as large as sauropods.
Why is diastema important for herbivores?
It would allow food to be pushed between the upper and lower jaw through the gap, to be stored briefly in the cheek. Thus it is possible for the animal to eat more food without stopping to chew and swallow each mouthful.

Why do herbivores have eyes at side of their head and not at the front?
i have been led to believe that most herbivores generally have their eyes on the side of their head as herbivores are typically prey animals and need the watch their surrounding whilst grazing, take a gazelle as an example, they are always watching whilst grazing for predators such as lions, they can get around 270 degree vision this way.
Now carnivores generally have eyes on the front of their face as they are predatory animals and only keep their eyes on their prey, such as a lion watching that stragling gazelle, i did a whole gcse on the biology B3 topic and this is what i had to learn.
hope this helps!
