    Are there any actual obligate herbivores? I think most of them will eat small animals if they’re low on calcium and such.

      When I think herbivore cows are pretty high in the list, but I’ve seen more than one video of a cow eating a chick along with her diet of grass

      There’s a handful of bird species that can only eat stuff like nuts, berries, and seeds. Koalas. And I vaguely remember something about a couple kinds of sloths that only eat like, leaves, grass, and flowers?

        Oh and that weird tree ferret thing with a red nose that only eats alcoholic fruits. What was it again?
