The time budget devoted to aggressive display was highest in spring than the other three seasons. There is an increase in the daily feeding time spent eating flowers and fruits in summer, seeds, acorns, roots and barks in winter and autumn, herbs in spring and summer, and a clear increase in consumption of the human food in spring.

Herbivores can avoid plant defenses by eating plants selectively in space and time. For the winter moth, feeding on oak leaves early in the season maximized the amount of protein and nutrients available to the moth, while minimizing the amount of tannins produced by the tree. [16] Herbivores can also spatially avoid plant defenses.
A banana slug feeding on Amanita. Many terrestrial gastropod mollusks are known to feed on fungi. It is the case in several species of slugs from distinct families.Among them are the Philomycidae (e. g. Philomycus carolinianus and Phylomicus flexuolaris) and Ariolimacidae (Ariolimax californianus), which respectively feed on slime molds (myxomycetes) and mushrooms (basidiomycetes). [5]
For the most part, the langur is confined to high trees where its long tail serves as a balancer when it leaps across branches. During the rainy season it obtains water from dew and rain-drenched leaves. Its diet is herbivorous, consisting of ripe and unripe fruits, mature and young leaves, seeds, buds and flowers. It generally lives in troops ...
Spider monkeys live in the upper layers of the rainforest and forage in the high canopy, from 25 to 30 m (82 to 98 ft). [2] They primarily eat fruits, but will also occasionally consume leaves, flowers, and insects. [2] Due to their large size, spider monkeys require large tracts of moist evergreen forests, and prefer undisturbed primary ...
The coppery titi monkey (Plecturocebus cupreus) or red titi monkey [3] is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, from South America. [2] They are found in the Amazon of Brazil and Peru, and perhaps northern Bolivia. [2] It was described as Callithrix cupreus in 1823. [2] These monkeys have a lifespan of a little over 20 years. [4]
There are carnivorous plants as well as herbivores and carnivores that consume plants and animals, respectively. Due to the extremely low nutritional content of the soil in which they grow and extra nitrogen is needed by the plants, therefore carnivorous plants eat insects. By photosynthesis, these plants continue to receive energy from the sun ...
The Phayre's leaf Monkey resting in bamboo plants in Lawachara National Park. Pharye's langur is found in tropical, deciduous, and evergreen forests of North-East India, Eastern Bangladesh, and Western Myanmar. It can also be seen residing in secondary forests such as bamboo clusters and rubber plantations.
