Ruminant organisms such as cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, giraffes, camels and a handful more are distinguished by their digestive system which, unlike humans and most other animals, have 4 compartments within their stomach. The largest of these compartments is known as the rumen which is why these animals are named as such.

Why can't Jews eat cloven hoof animals?

This is not correct. Jews can eat cloven-hoof mammals. However, this is necessary, but insufficient condition for determining a kosher land animal. It must also ruminate or chew its cud. Therefore, the pig which does have a cloven hoof but does not ruminate may not be consumed. Cows, deer, lamb, bison, antelope, goats, and several other animals that have a cloven hoof and ruminate can be kosher (if slaughtered properly).
