Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time. Hence, herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow complete digestion of cellulose. Carnivorous animals cannot digest cellulose due to the absence of enzyme CELLULASE, hence they have a shorter intestine.

Herbivorous eating grass made a longer small time to allow the cellulose to be digest. Meat is easier to digest, hense carnivorous like tiger have shorter small intestine.
