Pseudoruminant is a classification of animals based on their digestive tract differing from the ruminants. Hippopotami and camels are ungulate mammals with a three-chambered stomach (ruminants have a four-chambered stomach) while equids (horses, asses, zebras) and rhinoceroses are monogastric herbivores. [1] [2]
Camelids are large, strictly herbivorous animals with slender necks and long legs. They differ from ruminants in a number of ways. [2] Their dentition show traces of vestigial central incisors in the incisive bone, and the third incisors have developed into canine-like tusks.
Ruminating animals have various physiological features that enable them to survive in nature. One feature of ruminants is their continuously growing teeth. During grazing, the silica content in forage causes abrasion of the teeth. This is compensated for by continuous tooth growth throughout the ruminant's life, as opposed to humans or other ...
What qualifies an animal to be listed as a pseudoruminant? Versus the following major digestive catagories: Traditional ruminant (i.e. cow, sheep, goat) Non-ruminant monogastric (i.e. pig, human) Non-ruminant Hind-gut fermentor (i.e. horse, rabbit) List of pseudoruminant species; Camelid species: Camels, Llamas, Alpacas etc...
One strategy to get the needed nutrition is used by ruminants (e.g., cows). They chew the cud in order to process their food a second time to extract more nutrients. [26] [20] Another strategy (e.g., used by horses) is to have a very long colon to aid in digestion and absorption. [17] Both of these strategies add substantial bulk to the animal.

Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund animals with short tails. [3] Modern hyraxes are typically between 30 and 70 cm (12 and 28 in) in length and weigh between 2 and 5 kg (4 and 11 lb). They are superficially similar to marmots, or over-large pikas, but are much more closely related to elephants and sirenians. Hyraxes have a life span from nine to ...
