Ruminants Are Hoofed Animals Such as Cattle and Sheep

question 16

Essay

Ruminants are hoofed animals such as cattle and sheep.Two categories of ruminants are browsers (leaf eaters)and grazers (grass eaters).Some biologists believe that the incisor arcade, that part of the mouth between the incisors, is shaped differently for browsers and grazers, and that might explain their food selection.The "curvature" of an incisor arcade is a measure of its shape, with large values indicating a long, thin mouth, and small values a shorter, wider mouth.The back-to-back stem plot below compares the curvatures of incisor arcades of a sample of species of browsers and grazers in the ruminant family.
