Herbivore : ウィキペディア英語版
Herbivore

A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage, for the main component of its diet. As a result of their plant diet, herbivorous animals typically have mouthparts adapted to rasping or grinding. Horses and other herbivores have wide flat teeth that are adapted to grinding grass, tree bark, and other tough plant material.
== Etymology ==
Herbivore is the anglicized form of a modern Latin coinage, ''herbivora,'' cited in Charles Lyell's 1830 ''Principles of Geology.''〔J.A. Simpson and E.S.C. Weiner, Eds. (2000) "The Oxford English Dictionary (volume VII) page 155.〕 Richard Owen employed the anglicized term in an 1854 work on fossil teeth and skeletons.〔 ''Herbivora'' is derived from the Latin ''herba'' meaning a small plant or herb,〔P.G.W. Glare, Ed. (1990) "The Oxford Latin Dictionary" page 791〕 and ''vora,'' from ''vorare,'' to eat or devour.〔P.G.W. Glare, Ed. (1990) "The Oxford Latin Dictionary" page 2103.〕
