A plural or taxonomic term for animals that eat fruit; fruit-eating animals or organisms.
From Latin 'frux' (fruit) + 'vorare' (to devour/eat), likely used as a scientific classification category in biology. The -a ending suggests a Latin plural or taxonomic designation.
Frugivores—fruit-eating animals—are nature's farmers because they spread seeds across landscapes in their droppings, meaning bats, birds, and apes accidentally shaped entire forest ecosystems.
