A quick Google search turned up two options.

1. Their 4 stomachs are specialized to extract all needed nutrients from grass.

2. The eating of grass feeds microbes that the cows digest. So the microbes live off the grass, while the cows live off the microbes.

And transmutation is real.
You don't need to feed chickens calcium for them to produce calcium rich eggs.

A 180-ton Blue Whale just eats tiny krill. Your .3-ton, grass-eating cow is irrelevant.

Let me know when whale burgers are a common thing

They eat a lot of grass.

It's their nature

[ - ] anon 1326970 4 points 5 monthsDec 20, 2023 16:48:00 ago (+4/-0)

Grass gives them the munchies.

This means God doesn't exist. Nature works random.

Random doesn't exist. Prove me wrong Randomist

Despite their grass diet, the reason they weigh so much is because of their size and weight.

Like the upright versions of the 4 foot land grazers.

They're big boned.

The biggest dinosaurs were all plant eaters too.

Wait until OP realizes that elephants eat grass, leaves, and roots (mostly). The kaboom of his mind exploding will be audible for many many miles.

Mother fucking whales eat nothing but plankton.
