any animal that chews something that it has already swallowed.
A hoofed animal such as cattle, sheep, goats and deer with a complicated stomach of 4 parts rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum and which chew the cud.
Animals which have a four compartment stomach (rumen or paunch, reticulum, omasum, abomasum).
A mammal whose stomach has four parts (rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum). Cattle, sheep, goats, deer, and elk are ruminants.
An animal (they are all herbivores) that 'chew the cud'. Examples are cattle, sheep and deer but NOT horses. They digest more of a plant than 'single stomached' animals by having a 'rumen' (the first of several stomachs) where the plant material they have eaten are fermented by micro-organisms to produce proteins and sugars the animal can digest.
An animal with a stomach that has four compartments, and a more complex digestive system than other mammals. Ruminants include cattle, sheep, goats, deer, bison, elk, and camels. Swine, dogs, and humans are examples of nonruminants.
mammals with four chambered stomachs that “chew their cud”.
A cud-chewing animal which has four stomach compartments. The rumen is a major site of microbial fermentation of feeds, permitting breakdown of fiber, i.e. cattle and sheep.
Animals having four stomach compartments - rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasums - through which food passes in digestion. These animals chew their cud or regurgitate partially digested food for further breakdown in the mouth. Ruminant animals include cattle, sheep, goats, deer and camels.
A group of animals cloven-hoofed animals that have a multicompartmented stomach adapted to ferment a herbivorous diet. Examples include cattle, sheep, deer and bison.
One of a group of grazing animals including cattle, bison, sheep, goat, which have digestive systems particularly adapted to grasses.
mammals that have 4 stomachs and chew their cud are ruminants. They are herbivores and the plant material they eat is difficult to digest. In ruminants the 4 digestive chambers accommodate a large number of bacteria which help digest the plant material. Members of the deer family and mountain sheep and goats are all ruminants.
Animal with four-chambered stomach (cow, sheep, goat, deer).
an animal which has a stomach with four sections. The four section stomach lets the sheep digest coarse grass, hay, and weeds that other animals and people cannot.
One of the order of animals has a four-compartment stomach including the rumen, reticulum, omasum , and abomasum. This includes animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, deer, antelope, elk, and camels.
an animal that has a compound stomach (i.e. consisting of four portions of stomach)
ungulate having a multi-chambered stomach that digests plant fibers
any of various cud-chewing hoofed mammals having a stomach divided into four (occasionally three) compartments
related to or characteristic of animals of the suborder Ruminantia or any other animal that chews a cud; "ruminant mammals"
Any of various hoofed, even-toed, usually horned mammals, such as cattle, sheep, goats, deer and giraffes, characteristically having a stomach divided into four compartments and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food.
animals that chew their cud and produce methane.
a mammal that chews a cud such as cattle, deer, sheep, goats, antelope
A group of animals that chew thew their cud and characteristically have a four compartment stomach.
Even-toed, hoofed mammals such as cow, goat, or sheep, having a 4-chamber stomach; and chewing a cud consisting of regurgitated, partially digested food, i.e., ruminantia
animals that have a 4 compartment stomach such as sheep goats and cows, an animal that chews cud.
Ungulate with specialized four-chambered digestive system; cud-chewing mammals.
Cud-chewing, hoofed mammals (such as sheep and cattle) having a stomach divided into four compartments.
animals with a three or four chamber stomach that regurgitate and rechew their food: "Chew the cud". Cattle, sheep, camels, goats and deer are ruminants.
The act characterized by chewing again what has been swallowed as with cattle, sheep, etc.
A hoofed, often horned, animal with a four-compartment stomach. Examples include cattle, goats, deer and giraffes. During digestion, ruminants regurgitate and chew their partially digested food, called cud.
An animal thet chews the cud and has a complex digestive system with a four part stomach enabling bacteria to break down food. Ruminants lack upper incisor teeth and their complex stomach allows them to store and digest large amounts of bulky and fibrous food
A cud-chewing polygastric animal having usually four digestive compartments; includes such animals as cows, goats, sheep.
An animal with a multiple stomach (polygastric) system of digestion capable of digesting cellulose.
An animal with a specialized digestive system which includes chewing the cud.
Mammal whose stomach has four partsÑrumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. e.g Cattle, sheep, goats, deer.
A ruminant is an animal that digests its food many times. This food is usually tough plant material like grasses. Ruminants include cows, sheep, antelopes, and camels.
Animal having a stomach with four compartments (rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum). Their digestive process is more complex than that of animals having a true stomach. Ruminants include cattle, sheep and goats, as well as deer, bison, buffalo, camels, and giraffes.
A ruminant is any hooved animal that digests its food in two steps, first by eating the raw material and regurgitating a semi-digested form known as cud, then eating the cud, a process called ruminating. Ruminants include cattle, goats, sheep, camels, llamas, giraffes, bison, buffalo, deer, wildebeast, and antelope. The suborder Ruminantia includes all those except the camels and llamas, which are Tylopoda.
