Large Intestines
The cecum is largest in herbivorous animals, such as herbivorous mammals like cows and horses. These animals have a larger cecum to help with the fermentation of plant material and the breakdown of cellulose.
The shape of the cecum is primarily determined by the position of the ileocecal valve, which connects the small intestine to the cecum. The cecum is a blind-ended pouch located at the beginning of the large intestine and varies in shape depending on individual anatomy.
The cecum in deer is longer than the cecum in tigers. The cecum is an important part of the digestive system that helps break down cellulose in plant material. As herbivores, deer need a longer cecum to aid in the digestion of their plant-based diet, while carnivores like tigers have shorter cecums since they primarily consume meat.
The cecum is located at the beginning of the large intestine. If there is a mass, or polyp, on the cecum it could mean cancer. This type of cancer is colon cancer.
