Answer:
lion is a carnivores animal and generally carnivores animal has small intestine shorter because they eat only meat and it is digested in short period of time.
Deer eats grass which contains cellulose . Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time, because certain enzymes are produced by the ruminant bacteria that are hard to digest.Hence it has longer intestine.
