Detailed explanation-1: -ruminant, (suborder Ruminantia), any mammal of the suborder Ruminantia (order Artiodactyla ), which includes the pronghorns, giraffes, okapis, deer, chevrotains, cattle, antelopes, sheep, and goats. Most ruminants have a four-chambered stomach and two-toed feet.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ruminant stomachs have four compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum and the abomasum. Rumen microbes ferment feed and produce volatile fatty acids, which is the cow’s main energy source.

Detailed explanation-3: -They all have multiple compartments or rooms to their stomach! Humans only have one room to their stomach, which is called monogastric. Although cows, goats and alpacas are similar in that they all have multiple rooms to their stomach, alpacas are still a little different.
