They have complex [[stomach]]s and ruminate their food. What this means is that they can move food from one stomach to another and back again. This allows them to digest a wider range of food. == Classifiation == * '''ORDER [[Cetartiodactyla|CETARTIODACTYLA]]''' ** Suborder [[Suina]]: [[pig]]s and [[peccary|peccaries]] ** Suborder [[Tylopoda]]: [[camel]]s and [[llama]]s ** Suborder Whippomorpha: [[whale]]s and [[hippopotamus]] ** '''Suborder Ruminantia''' *** Family †Amphimerycidae *** Infraorder [[Tragulina]] (paraphyletic) **** Family †Prodremotheriidae **** Family †Hypertragulidae **** Family †Praetragulidae **** Family [[Tragulidae]]: [[chevrotain]]s, 6 living species in 4 genera **** Family †Leptomerycidae **** Family †Archaeomerycidae **** Family †Lophiomerycidae *** Infraorder [[Pecora]] **** Family †[[Climacoceratidae]] ****Family [[Moschidae]]: [[musk deer]], 4 living species in one genus **** Family [[Cervidae]]: [[deer]], 49 living species in 16 genera **** Family [[Giraffidae]]: [[giraffe]] and [[okapi]], 2 living species in 2 genera **** Family [[Antilocapridae]]: [[pronghorn]], one living species in one genus **** Family [[Bovidae]]: [[cattle]], [[capra (genus
