Not a whole lot of animals actually eat "grass" in the rain forest. There are a few reasons for this.

One, the rain forest doesn't have grass like other places do. Rain forest grass more closely resembles small ferns or shrubs, because the forest floor does not receive much light. Also, the common forest floor dwellers are carnivores, and they eat meat. The organisms that do walk along the forest floor would be more like Tapirs, or rain forest "pigs" who would eat small shrubs and berries.

Omnivore ( Wikipedia ). Most bear species are considered omnivores, but individuals' diets can range from almost exclusively herbivorous to almost exclusively carnivorous depending on what food sources are available locally and seasonally. Polar bears can be classified as carnivores while pandas almost exclusively eat bamboo and are therefore herbivores, although Giant Pandas will eat some meat from time to time. Therefore, they are still considered a herbivore because they mainly eat plants. Various mammals are omnivorous by nature such as bears; coatis; canines like gray wolves or dingos; hedgehogs; opossums; pigs; some primates including chimpanzees and humans; raccoons; rodents including chipmunks, mice, rats, and squirrels; skunks; sloths; various birds whose prey varies from berries and nectar to insects, worms, fish, small rodents, and snakes; cassowarys; chickens; corvids including crows, magpies, ravens, and rooks; keas; rallidae; rheas; some fish such as piranhas; some lizards; and turtles. Their diet consists of both meat and vegetable matter
