Why is cud chewing beneficial to some hoofed animals?
Animals that chew their cud (aka, 'ruminate') are called ruminants. This is beneficial to these animals because they have bacteria in their stomachs that digest the various plant materials the ruminant eats. To help the bacteria digest the plants, the ruminant brings up a wad of plant material (called the cud) and chews it thoroughly to mechanically break down the tough structural fibers of the plant. The ruminant then reswallows the cud, the bacteria digest the plant and both the bacteria and the cow get their necessary nutrients from the plant.
