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]
Hofmann and Stewart divided ruminants into three major categories based on their feed type and feeding habits: concentrate selectors, intermediate types, and grass/roughage eaters, with the assumption that feeding habits in ruminants cause morphological differences in their digestive systems, including salivary glands, rumen size, and rumen ...

A monogastric organism is contrasted with ruminant organisms (which have four-chambered complex stomachs), such as cattle, goats, and sheep. Herbivores with monogastric digestion can digest cellulose in their diets by way of symbiotic gut bacteria. However, their ability to extract energy from cellulose digestion is less efficient than in ...
Marsupial koalas of Australia have evolved fingerprints, indistinguishable from those of non-related primates, such as humans. [14] The Australian honey possums acquired a long tongue for taking nectar from flowers, a structure similar to that of butterflies, some moths, and hummingbirds, and used to accomplish the same task.

Tomato Spice Cake. Pumpkin, pecan, sweet potato, and apple pies might be the norm on Thanksgiving but if you're looking to switch things up a bit, consider making room for a Tomato Spice Cake, too.
Camels and other camelids (alpacas, llamas, etc) are technically "pseudo-ruminants" with three- (not four-) chambered stomachs, called C1, C2, and C3. Do camelids chew cud? Yes. When camelids spit at you, they are spitting their cud. Perhaps a separate wikipedia page about Pseudo-ruminants is required. [1] (comments by User:AslanEntropy|talk)
