Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)
- ruminants: Animals having a four-chambered stomach within which bacteria convert the woody tissue of plants to proteins and fats that, in turn, are digested by the animal. Cows, camels, and giraffes are ruminants; horses, pigs, and elephants are not.
