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.
Monogastric herbivores, such as rhinoceroses, horses, and rabbits, are not ruminants, as they have a simple single-chambered stomach. These hindgut fermenters digest cellulose in an enlarged cecum through the reingestion of the cecotrope.axonomically, the suborder Ruminantia (also known as ruminants) is a lineage of herbivorous artiodactylas that includes the most advanced and widespread of the world's ungulates. The term 'ruminant' is not synonymous with Ruminantia.
