1. In the Triassic Period, 225 to 190 million years ago, before the age of dinosaurs, the predominant groups of herbivorous land animals belonged to two quite different groups of reptiles: the synapsids, or mammal-like reptiles; and the rhynchosaurs.
2. There are a few other permanent pelagic denizens which ecologically are less important, including the beautiful nautiloids - ancient cephalopods, which still retain the primitive, gas-filled shell; the turtles and sea-snakes; and the herbivorous sirenians - the dugongs and marine manatees of the tropics, which (probably!) are distantly related to the elephants.
3. Any sizable successful herbivorous group surely cannot have been relying on one such geographically limited group of seed-plants to the exclusion of all others.
4. Almost entirely herbivorous, it excavates a maze of galleries in the banks of waterways and ponds.
5. Most animals today do seem to have bodies that accord well with the functions they have to carry out to survive: flyers are aerodynamically efficient, active swimmers have suitable streamlining, herbivorous mammals have teeth appropriate for grinding plant food, and so on.
6. A great diversification of herbivorous and carnivorous forms developed from the insectivores.
7. Where there are so many herbivorous animals, we expect commensurate carnivores.
8. Few modern lizards are herbivorous, but Uromastix is a herbivore: it efficiently crops leaves, flowers, shoots and fruit of a wide variety of plants, but does not masticate the food.
9. The pelagic zone also includes a few creatures that are land-based, but none the less make a significant contribution to the marine ecology: birds such as the puffins, gannets, boobies, auks, terns and penguins; the pinniped carnivores - seals, sea-lions, fur seals, and walruses; other carnivores - the sea-otter and the polar bear; reptiles such as some marine crocodiles and the marine, herbivorous iguana of the Galapagos Islands.
10. One of the most important steps for the complete colonization of the land was the evolution of herbivorous (plant-eating) reptiles, tapping a prolific and nourishing source of food that opened up a new dimension to the "food chain'.
11. The development of large herbivorous mammals was accompanied by a radiation of the carnivorous forms that preyed upon them.
12. Accordingly, the herbivorous zooplankton, including the crustacean Diaptomus, Cyclops and Daphnia (" water fleas") are limited; and so too are the corresponding crustacean predators, such as Leptodora, Polyphemus and Bythotrephes .
13. The natural fauna of temperate forests includes the complete range of feeding types, from herbivorous and detritus-eating insects and mites, through to roe deer, moose, wood bison and various pigs among the herbivores, to bears, wolves, and cats such as the wildcat, lynx, and puma, among the big carnivores.
