"Grasses are often reported at 90-100% of the diet, depending on the availability and time of year. In northern and mountainous environments where upland grasses are limited, sedges and wetland grasses dominate the diet." The other 'choices' are 'forbs and the leaves, twigs, and bark of trees and shrubs'. Let's see, grains...nope, doesn't even show up on that page... Like I said, better stick with what you know or prople will start to think you really are as stupid as you sound... > > <..> > > >
