ASCI 112 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Hindgut Fermentation, Folivore, Hoatzin
Document Summary
Cattle, sheep (grazing herbivores), deer, antelope, camel (selective herbivores, including folivores and frugivores) Colobine monkeys (selective herbivore), hamster, vole (selective herbivores), kangaroo, hippopotamus (grazing and se, hoatzin (folivore) Oapybara (grazer), rabbit/ lemming (elective herbivores), rat/mice (omnivores) Elephant, horse, zebra (grazers), new world monkeys (folivores), pig, human (omnivores) Fermentation = the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeast or other micro- organisms.
