The word sarcophagus comes from the Greek ÏÎ¬ÏÎ¾ sarx meaning flesh, and ÏÎ±Î³Îµá¿Î½ phagein meaning to eat, hence sarcophagus means flesh-eating; from the phrase lithos sarkophagos (Î»Î¯Î¸Î¿Ï ÏÎ±ÏÎºÎ¿ÏÎ¬Î³Î¿Ï).
Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. The two main groups are the Cervinae, including the muntjac, the fallow deer and the chital, and the Capreolinae, including the elk, reindeer (caribou), the Western roe deer, and the Eurasian elk (moose). Female reindeer, and male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer), grow and shed new antlers each year.
They are also called fore-gut fermentors because one of the chambers, the â¦ rumen, is responsible for the fermentation and digestion of forage through the use of microflora in the rumen. Ruminants are also known to regurgitate and chew a bolus of partially digested matter called cud.Ruminant animals include the following: CattleBisonSheepGoatsAntelopeDeerCaribou/ReindeerMooseElkBuffaloGiraffe Camels, alpacas and llamas, though they too chew cud like ruminant animals, are actually not true ruminants.irds have a different digestive tract than mammals do, because they have crops, diverticulums, gizzards and cecums, and do not have bladders or u â¦ rethras. The urea from the kidney (birds only have one kidney) and feces are mixed together in the colon and expelled through the cloaca as a soft gooey matter.
