Not unless their prey is vegetation. However, there have been instances where herbivores have become predators: Pika, in herbivores like cows, is a nitrogen deficiency that drives cows to turn to eating meat or eating rabbits to satisfy this nitrogen craving. Icelandic ponies have been reported to have turned to catching fish and eating them, probably due to the same craving for nitrogen.

No, herbivores do not typically behave as predators. Herbivores primarily feed on plants and do not actively hunt and consume other animals. Their diets consist mainly of vegetation to meet their nutritional needs.
