Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Animals like cows and goats bring back food into their mouth to chew it for some time. Such animals are known as ruminants. This happens because, the herbivorous diet is rich in cellulose which is difficult to digest and takes a long time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ruminants do not chew their meal entirely, instead of consuming or gulping as much as they can before swallowing it. This is an adaptation through which these animals have evolved to spend as little time as possible feeding to avoid being hunted down by predators.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grass-eating animals are known as ruminants. Animals like cows, goats and buffaloes eat grass. These animals swallow grass quickly and store it in a sac-like structure called the rumen. Rumen forms the first stomach and is four-chambered.
