Answer:

Cellulose forms the largest part of the herbivore’s food. Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time, because the enzymes are produced by the ruminant bacteria that live in the gut of the herbivore. Longer small intestine ensures that the food stays for a longer duration and proper digestion is possible. In the case of carnivores, cellulose is not present in the diet, thus the length of small intestine is less.

Herbivores eat grass that contain cellulose. Cellulose takes a longer time to digest completely that is why herbivores have longer small intestine for digesting cellulose. On the other hand carnivores eat the flesh of the other animals (meat). Meat is easier to digest in comparison to cellulose and thus, carnivores have shorter smaller intestineer
