In South and Central American rainforests, agoutis, acouchis, pacas, and tapirs are the dominant herbivorous mammals.
In most African rainforests, duikers, tapirs, okapi, pygmy hippos, bongos and gorillas fill that ecological role. Some African elephants also populate the Ituri rainforest in Zaire, but generally are not found in other rainforests on the African continent.
Asian rainforests are populated by elephants, rhinoceroses, mouse deer, forest deer, and numerous smaller herbivorous mammalian species.
Herbivorous mammals in the more temperate rainforests of North America and Europe include beavers, otters, marmots, deer, elk, rabbits, squirrels, and a wide variety of small rodent species.
Additionally, all of the world's rainforests, whether tropical or temperate, host a wide variety of predominantly herbivorous birds, amphibians and reptiles.

This can result in loss of biodiversity, disruption of local communities, and long-term damage to the environment. In general, mining is not beneficial to the rainforest.

Some herbivores that live in the Peten rainforest in Guatemala include the Central American spider monkey and the white-lipped peccary. These animals play important roles in the ecosystem by spreading seeds and helping to maintain biodiversity.
Two-toed sloths are herbivores. They primarily feed on leaves, buds, and fruits from a variety of trees in the rainforest. They have a slow metabolism and digest their food very slowly.
Yes, caterpillars can be found in rainforests as they are a diverse group of insects that inhabit various ecosystems. They play a significant role in the rainforest food web as herbivores, feeding on leaves and plant material.
