Question
Why is small intestine in herbivores longer than in carnivores?
✓

Answer

The food of herbivores contains a huge amount of cellulose. The animals need the assistance of certain bacteria to digest cellulose and this process takes time. Due to this, herbivores have longer small intestine than carnivores. Meat is easier to digest and hence carnivores have small intestine which is much smaller than in herbivores.
