Carnivores has shorter Small Intestine why​

Answer 1

Carnivores eat a smaller amount of food compared to herbivores, and it is in the form of high energy molecules which are relatively easy to digest, compared to the plant material that herbivores eat, which contains cellulose. Therefore, carnivores have a smaller intestine.

thank you

Answer 2

The small intestine is longer in herbivore than in carnivore because herbivores consume plant and grass-based food which is full of cellulose and the digestion of cellulose takes a long time. Bile is a digestive juice secreted by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. The function of bile is to assist fat digestion and absorption in the gut. The length of the small intestine differs in various animals depending on the food that they eat. Herbivores need a longer small intestine to allow cellulose to be digested as taken from green plants.
