Question

Which among the following will have a longer small intestine?
a) Tiger
b) Deer c) Lion d) Leopard
​

Answer 1

Deer is the answer!........

Answer 2

The answer is option b) Deer. Deer is herbivorous.

Explanation:

• The answer is Deer because it is a herbivorous animal. The plants that they eat have cellulose in it. The cellulose is very difficult to digest. They required more time for digestion thus, they have longer small intestine. The cellulose is simplified into small chain fatty acid in the small intestine.
• The tiger, Lion and Leopard are carnivores. The flesh they eat requires less time than a herbivore. Thus they have shorter small intestine.
