It is proof that the conclusion that "all animals that are cloven hooved (or have 'two toes') are ruminants" is false. Swine are not ruminants because they have a simple stomach, not a four-chambered stomach, and thus are omnivorous animals. Other animals that are two-toed or cloven-hooved but are not ruminants are camelids (camels, alpacas, and llamas, for example), which are known as pseudoruminants due to the fact that they only have a three-chambered stomach.
Yes. Hind-gut fermentors are psuedo-ruminants.
All ruminants browse
Yes indeed! Ruminants include wildebeest, hartebeest, cape buffalo, gazelles, springbok (and all other species of antelope) and giraffes. Non-ruminants include lions, zebras, hyenas, crocodiles, baboons, hippos, rhinos, etc.
you have 10 toes all together
following are the non ruminants..........HUMANS,PIG,MOUSE,HORSE etc
Yes all Twinkle Toes glow
No ruminants are all mammals, a termite is an insect. However both ruminants and termites use symbiotic bacteria to help them digest cellulose in their food.
No, not all calico cats have six toes
Non-ruminants are also called "monogastrics"--animals with a single-compartment stomach. (Ruminant stomachs have four compartments.) Examples of mongastric animals are humans, primates, swine, dogs, cats, and even horses. There are several ways to distinguish ruminants from non-ruminant animals: Ruminants likely have cloven hooves (but then, again, so do swine) AND they regurgitate and "chew their cud." That is, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, buffalo, etc, are all ruminants. If one observes them closely while they are "resting," they will often regurgitate a small bolus of feed/mass of grass (a "cud") and chew it to further break down the feed/ingesta. Other animals that are "non-ruminant" are birds, fish, all kinds of reptiles, amoebas, protozoa, bacteria, etc. So, it may be easier to identify ruminants than to identify what animals are non-ruminant!
