Solution
Ruminants have a large sac-like structure called rumen between the oesophagus and the small intestine. Ruminants eat grass. The grass is rich in cellulose. Many animals, including humans, cannot digest cellulose. The cellulose of the food is digested in the rumen by the action of certain bacteria that are not present in humans.
