Herbivores

Herbivores

These animals are herbivores which are plant eaters. In the food web or food chain they are secondary consumers. These animals are very important to the Amazon Rain Forest. They keep the trees under control so others can grow. The butterflies do the same thing. They eat the leaves from the trees. If they were removed, the rain forest would be ruined by all the animals dying out.
