A herbivore is an animal that eats plants and does not hunt other animals for food: cows, deer, rabbits, pandas on bamboo, many caterpillars chewing leaves. Science class sets it beside carnivore (meat) and omnivore (both).

A herbivore草食動物 is是 an animal that eats plants吃植物的動物 and does not hunt other animals for food不獵捕其他動物為食: cows, deer, rabbits, pandas on bamboo, many caterpillars chewing leaves牛、鹿、兔子、吃竹子的貓熊、還有很多啃葉子的毛毛蟲。 Science class自然課 sets it beside會把它跟 carnivore (meat)carnivore（肉食） and和 omnivore (both)omnivore（雜食）放在一起講

It is a classroom and nature-documentary word; you would not use it at the dinner table for a person.

It它 is是 a classroom and nature-documentary word課堂和自然紀錄片會用的詞; you would not use it你不會用 at the dinner table for a person在餐桌上講一個人

Though actually, “only plants” is the tidy school version. Some animals we call herbivores will nibble bone, eggshell, or an insect now and then; the label is about their usual diet, not a law of nature. And a giant panda lives on bamboo, so we call it a herbivore, even though it sits in the bear family, which is full of meat-eaters — the word tracks what goes in the mouth, not the family tree.

Though actually不過其實 "only plants"「只吃植物」 is是 the tidy school version課本上簡化過的說法。 Some animals we call herbivores有些我們稱為草食動物的動物 will nibble bone, eggshell, or an insect now and then偶爾也會啃骨頭、蛋殼，或吃隻昆蟲 the label is about their usual diet這個標籤講的是牠們平常的飲食習慣 not a law of nature不是什麼自然法則。 And a giant panda lives on bamboo而大貓熊靠竹子維生 so we call it a herbivore所以我們叫牠草食動物 even though儘管 it sits in the bear family牠其實屬於熊科 which is full of meat-eaters滿是肉食動物的 the word tracks what goes in the mouth這個詞看的是吃進嘴裡的東西 not the family tree不是家族血統
