Maya and Manoj went to a zoo. They saw animals such as elephants, leopards, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, deer, tigers, antelopes and hyenas. The zookeeper told them that the animals were kept in separate areas according to their feeding habits.

| Elephants 2 | Giraffes 4 | Leopards 2 | Hyenas 8 | Zebras 5 | Lions 2 |
| Tigers 3 | Monkeys 4 | Cheetahs 5 | Rhinoceros 2 | Antelopes 6 |
Assuming that all animals are given equal amount of food every day (herbivorous animals 30 kg per day and carnivorous animals 20 kg per day), find out how much food is consumed by herbivorous and carnivorous animals in a month. Make a bar graph showing the consumption of food in both types of animals. Which of these animals are ruminants?
