What do you call an animal that primarily feeds on high foliage?

  1. Grazers

  2. Browsers

  3. Ruminants

  4. Carnivores

The correct answer is: Browsers

An animal that primarily feeds on high foliage is referred to as a browser. Browsing animals typically consume leaves, fruits, and twigs from trees and shrubs. This dietary choice allows them to access a high, nutrient-rich food source that is often out of reach for other types of herbivores. In contrast, grazers are animals that primarily feed on grasses and low-lying vegetation, not foliage from trees or tall shrubs. Ruminants are a broader category of animals that have a specialized stomach for digesting plant material, but this term does not specifically denote feeding behavior on high foliage. Carnivores, on the other hand, are animals that primarily feed on other animals, which is distinctly different from the feeding habits of browsers.
