2 Uncanny Animals The following animals must be the members of the uncanny ones. They look disgusting and have strange characteristics and life habits.

4 Revolting Digestion A ruminant will regurgitate the cud and chew again. Can you circle the ruminant animals shown below? 3

5 Cow is one of the ruminant animals and has stomach with four chambers: rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. How much do you know about these four chambers? Let's find the information from the exhibition and put the English letters on appropriate circles. Reticulum Rumen Omasum Abomasum It acts as a large fermenting tank. This is the second part of the stomach. It is packed full of bacteria and protozoan which digest the grass into a yummy stew. It acts like a sponge and can absorb up to 10 litres of water. It is much like human stomach. It secretes a strong acid and many digestive enzymes. It is the crossroad where food particles entering or leaving the rumen are sorted. It allows the recycling of water and minerals back to the rumen though saliva. The material entering this chamber is made up primarily of unfermented feed particles and fibers, and microbes that grew inside the rumen. 4

6 Weird Blood Most people think of the colour red for blood because this is the colour of blood for humans and many animals. However, blood also comes in other colours. Do you know what they are?

Do you know the names of the following poops in English and what animals excrete them? Names of poops Animals 6
