Detailed Solution

The goat will have a longer intestine than a tiger. For herbivores, breaking down the cellulose in plants takes more time. On the other hand, carnivores consume flesh that is digested in less time. Goats have longer intestines because herbivores that consume grass require a longer small intestine to enable the digestion of cellulose.
