Ungulates, such as deer, reindeer, and elk, are hoofed mammals. These animals have keen hearing, clear vision, supple, well-conditioned muscles, and razor-sharp reflexes. The evolution of the four-chambered stomach in ungulates developed as a result of a need to eat quickly in the open and chew later in the safety of cover. This process is called ruminating or "chewing the cud." In other words, ungulates regurgitate and then re-chew their food. What best describes an ungulate with this ability? a) their long legs, which help them outrun predators b) their ability to hibernate to avoid cold winters c) their four-chambered stomach d) their ability to stand perfectly still, which helps them avoid predators
