WHAT IS THE BIOSPHERE
... The biosphere is the portion of the Earth that supports life. The biosphere spans from a few miles up in the atmosphere to the deepest part of the oceans, and also seems to extend an indefinite distance underground. Every organism in the biosphere depends on its environment for survival. The environ ...

Herbivore
_grazing_-_20050809.jpg?width=300)
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.
