Species that feed on plants are strong and have a long lifespan
Species that feed on plants are strong and have a long lifespan. Herbivores are some of the animal species that have been observed to live many years. If they are lucky enough to evade preditor’s wrath. Those who have no predictors, live to enjoy extreme old age. Is it related to their diet?
Plant-eating organisms
These are species whose diet is solely comprised of plant parts. We can refer to them as true vegans.
They can be divided into various groups depending on which plants they consume, or how they eat.
That is, we have those that feed on fruits ( Frugivores), nector (nectarivorous), etc. And we have the browsers that obtain leaves, stems and bark from plants. While grazers eat vegetation at the ground level.
Samples of these herbivores include:
- Elephant
- Rhino
- Hippo
- Buffalo
- Giraffe
- Wildebeest
As you can already tell, these are some of the most dangerous animals that even intimidate their predators.
Now you understand why the antelopes and other small herbivores, end up being the most targeted.
Does this mean that if we were to embrace the vegan diet, we could be strong?

I believe so… according to Einstein “Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”

Although now the genetically modified plants are destroying vegetation content in our foods.

Interesting! We’re in Australia and have learnt that kangaroos, wallabies and wallaroos, who are all herbivores, live about 10 years only.

The smaller herbivores have shorter life span sadly despite being so cute
