1. Sloths spend most of their time in trees, half-sleeping, half-blind and half-blind. In order to save energy, they do as little exercise as possible, their muscles are underdeveloped, and their reaction time is only a quarter of ours (should be four times, This is doubtful). South American tapirs mostly eat leaves, and some leaves are poisonous. They have found a way to deal with it, which is to eat only part of one kind of leaf, and then eat another, and they can detoxify by eating kaolin clay.
2. In the Rocky Mountains of Canada, there lives a mammal called pika. They like to hoard plants, and they know that poisonous plants are natural preservatives, and plants containing a small amount of poison will soon become edible. Elephants and many others will actively come to the cave to look for salt, and herbivores such as wildebeest migrate thousands of miles for the phosphorus-containing pasture. The antelope is the smallest antelope on the grassland, and it loves to eat the lowest leaves of the acacia tree; the impala is three times as tall as the canine antelope, and it can eat the higher leaves of the acacia tree; the giraffe does not have to be black. As tall as an antelope, it can stand up and use its rather small head to reach into the branches full of thorns to feed on leaves; giraffes can eat the top leaves of acacia trees; elephants can uproot acacia trees .
3. In order to defend against the predation of carnivores, herbivores do everything they can. Herbivorous animals have a sensitive sense of smell and can smell the smell of predators. Their eyes are on the sides of the head and have elongated pupils, which can be expand your horizons. This is different from the sight of carnivores, which can sense the distance of prey and facilitate hunting. At the same time, swarms are another good way for herbivores to deal with predators.
4. Herbivores sometimes even tease the beasts to make sure they can't make raids. The North American pronghorn is the second fastest animal on the planet, but it is the world champion when it comes to long distances. In terms of body proportions, the horns of the American argali are the largest in the world. Males smear mud on their horns to make themselves more threatening to other males and more attractive to females.
