Carnivorous Animals Have a Longer Digestive Tract,and a Small Cecum

Question

Carnivorous animals have a longer digestive tract,and a small cecum.

Accepted Answer

Carnivorous animals actually have a shorter digestive tract and a reduced or absent cecum, as they have a high protein diet that is easier to digest than plant material. Herbivores, on the other hand, have longer digestive tracts and a larger cecum to help break down the cellulose in plants.
