They are called ruminants because they have a four chambered stomach (Rumen, Abomasum, reticulum, omasum), food will enter the rumen and then the animal will then (during its resting period) regurgitate the food re chewing it and then swallowing it where it then enters the remaining three stomachs (this process is called chewing cud and is repeated until all food is digested).
