Let's just put it this way, animals can't live without bacteria. I know that sounds crazy, but there are different kinds of bacteria. The kind that you and I think about a lot are hetatroph bacteria. They cause us to get sick. Autotroph bacteria on the other hand live in you and me inside our intestines. They also live in animals. If we and they didn't have them, we'd die. Hope this helps!

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.
