Answer 1

Answer:

x is a herbivorous animal. As herbivores have to process cellulose, they have a larger small intestine for greater surface area. Eg; Cows.

y is a carnivorous animal. As carnivores don't need to process hard to break material, they have a much smaller intestine than herbivores. Eg; Lions.
