Martin Duncan is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This volume explores various animal families, focusing primarily on ungulates, rodents, and some other taxa, detailing their characteristics, classifications, and habitats. The text is richly illustrated, providing readers with visual insights into the anatomy and lifestyles of the animal groups discussed. The opening of this volume introduces the concept of Ruminantia, a significant group of mammals that includes sheep, goats, and gazelles. It elaborates on the unique digestive process of these animals, particularly their ability to ruminate, which involves a specialized stomach divided into four compartments. The chapter sets the stage for a detailed examination of various ruminants, providing insights into their anatomy, feeding habits, variety of species, and economic significance, particularly in relation to sheep farming and wool production. Through this detailed introduction, the reader gains an appreciation for the complex biological features that distinguish these animals within the broader context of natural history.
