 is, when grazing, they only partly chew the food before 

 swallowing it, and, when they afterwards lie down or stand

 called Ruminating or Cud-chewing animals. They gen- 

 erally have horns and cloven or divided hoofs. They 

 include the cow, ox, deer, camel, giraffe, goat, sheep and 

 buffalo.

 Gazelle of Africa and Arabia, the Chamois (sham' me or 

 sham-moi') of the Alps, and the Moose of North America.

 Africa and the warm parts of Asia. It looks like a very 

 large dog. Its teeth are wonderfully strong. It eats the
