Cud-chewing animals are called ruminants. Ruminants are any hoofed mammal that digests its food in two steps. In the first step, the food is chewed and partially digested in the mouth. The food is then regurgitated and chewed again (the cud). This second step allows the animal to extract more nutrients from the food.
Ruminants include cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, and camels.

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.
