"ruminantia"

*PECORA*

.

“ruminantia” is a ‘taxon’ within the order ‘artiodactyla’ that includes many of the well-known large ‘grazing’ (or ‘browsing’) mammals*

.

(among them…) 

‘cattle’

‘goats’

‘sheep’

‘deer’

‘antelope’

.

(all members of the ‘ruminantia’ employ ‘fore-gut fermentation’ + are ‘ruminants’…)

(…which means that they digest food in 2 steps…)

#1

*’chewing’ + ‘swallowing’ in the normal way to begin with…*

#2

(…and then ‘re-gurgitating’ the ‘semi-digested cud’ to ‘re-chew it’ + thus extract the maximum possible food value)
