Animals depend on two processes: feeding and digestion. Animals are heterotrophs, they must absorb nutrients or ingest food sources. ... Absorptive feeders, such as tapeworms, live in a digestive system of another animal and absorb nutrients from that animal directly through their body wall.
Digestion in grass eating Animals :
The grass eating animals such as Cow, Buffaloes, Horse etc. swallow half chewed grass quickly and store it in a part of their stomach called rumen.
Here, the food gets partially digested, which is called Cud. When the animals are not eating, the Cud return to the mouth in small lumps and is chewed again. This process is called rumination.
Those animals are called ruminants. Ruminants have four chamber in their stomach, i.e., Rumen, Reticulum, Omasum and Abomasum.
