>>What the hell is chewing your cud<< I was ruminating and LOL at Stitch's retort when I found: mich.com with schematic. Excerpt: >>So you don't know what cud chewing is. Well your not alone.

Rumination (cud chewing) is a process that some animals, like deer and cows, have adapted to increase the efficiency of plant material digestion. Ruminant animals have a special stomach which has four chambers. The Rumen is the first of these four chambers. Inside the Rumen are bacteria which produce an enzyme that can break down cellulose (plant stuff)...<<<<<<<
