because a giraffe is a ruminant which is an animal which eats plant based foods in a two stage manner. first it will chew its food then t will swallow it, then it will regurgitate it. after that it will swallow it again and go through the digestive process in a normal manner.

but with a lion it will only have to eat it once and never have to reguritate, because it only has one stomch and it also is not a ruminant.

hope this helps gys=] ily
