Question

What are ruminants? Explain. ​

Answer 1

They have a special part in their stomach called the rumen. Here, they store the food that they eat, where digestion takes place to form “cud”. This cud returns as small lumps to the mouth from time to time on which the animal chews on. This entire process is called rumination and such animals are known as ruminants.
