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 ...
Bovidae is a family of hoofed ruminant mammals in the order Artiodactyla. A member of this family is called a bovid. A member of this family is called a bovid. They are widespread throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, and are found in a variety of biomes, most typically forest, savanna, shrubland, and grassland.

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.
The Antilocapridae are a family of ruminant artiodactyls endemic to North America. Their closest extant relatives are the giraffids. [1] Only one species, the pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), is living today; all other members of the family are extinct. The living pronghorn is a small ruminant mammal resembling an antelope.
