Does the Watusi chew its cud?

The Watusi, also known as the Ankole-Watusi, is a breed of cattle. And like all cattle, yes, they chew their cud.

Here's why:

* Ruminants: Cattle are ruminants, which means they have a four-chambered stomach.

* First Stage Digestion: They initially swallow their food whole and it goes into the first two stomach chambers, the rumen and reticulum.

* Cud Chewing: Later, they regurgitate partially digested food back into their mouth (the cud) and chew it thoroughly before swallowing it again.

* Further Digestion: This second chewing helps break down plant fibers and allows for further digestion in the other two stomach chambers (the omasum and abomasum).

So, the Watusi, with its impressive horns, certainly chews its cud just like any other cow!
