**Cellulose forms the largest part of the herbivore's food. Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time because the enzymes for it's digestion are produced by the ruminant bacteria that lives 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 the small intestine is smaller.
