They devour plants

Tried to share a pool, deep inside.
A croc, named Claude, snapped,
"This space is well trapped!"
Horace sighed, "Then I'll just go outside."

Who Am I?
The Elephant’s not elegant
The Hippo isn’t hip
The Antelope is not an Ant
The Camel’s not a ship
The Turkey isn’t Turkish
The fly is just a fly
Orang Utan is almost man
But tell me, who am I ?...

Buffalo Clouds
Buffalo Clouds
Buffalo roam
The skies today
Hides of white
Touch of gray
There’s platypus
Pegasus
And
Hippo too
But it’s the Buffalo
Stampeding
Our skies of blue
