Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Horses are herbivores and, unlike carnivores like lions and wolves, require a longer small intestine to effectively digest and absorb nutrients from their plant-based diet. Horses have a much larger cecum and colon, which is where the bulk of fermentation and absorption of nutrients occurs in herbivores. Humans have a relatively short small intestine compared to their body size, while wolves have a shorter small intestine than horses due to their carnivorous diet.
