I dont know, Nick. There are some pretty big and tough herbivores. For example, a silverback gorilla. Pretty strong, you would call him sir.

Also goats, I was headbutted by an adolescent nanny goat last week and I still have the bruise. Bulls and bullocks- muscular, strong.

Also think of elephants, could trample a carnivorous predator. Giants such as the Brontosaurus- just enormous. So, the idea of the meek, weak herbivore is not true.

Herbivores are generally not violent towards other animals or people thou. Gorillas, goats & elephants are not known for harming people or other animals. i think carnivores are much more dangerous & threatening.


You tell that nanny goat that she is not threatening or dangerous. She should wear a "Do not touch" sign IMO.

Adolf Hitler was vegetarian. :)


Well technically he was a flexitarian. He sometimes ate sausages, and pigeon.
