Does it SUCK to be a herbivore especially mammalian herbivores?
>you can't digest cellulose on your own, you need a specific microbiome
>you need to spend hours fermenting and digesting plant matter
>often times the plant matter isn't nutritious enough and you have opportunistically eat meat
>if you're a hindgut fermenter, your young literally have to eat the shit of their mothers to gain the right gut microbiome
>if you're a hindgut fermenter, the large size of your body/belly isn't fat but intestines (like manatees/dugong/many monkeys)
>if you're a foregut fermenter, you have to spend most of your waking hours chewing cud then belching
>you get more nutrients from plant matter compared to hindgut fermenters but you still have to constantly regurgitate then chew and repeat
Boy am I glad that we're omnivores
