ruminant
an even-toed ungulate mammal that chews the cud regurgitated from its rumen. The ruminants comprise the cattle, sheep, antelopes, deer, giraffes, and their relatives.
- Neat, I'm gonna ruminate on this new fact
- So has hoofs a chews cud. Good to know he's kosher or halal.
If there is a smol flood, the floofy poofie will stay dry.
- A Dutch mouse!
I hate it when my potatoes grow legs and run away.
Are they considered primitive because they only have three legs?
- What if that turns out to not be his leg?
  
  Yeah, that isn't a 3rd leg at the back...
- Close relatives of the wild haggis.
They look like how I'd draw a "weird leggy mouse"
Never skip leg day.
