Ok i saw this randomly in the rabenu bichaya and it just reminded me how small we are. It was one sentance that somehow i never heard of in my life . An animal that has split hoofs and chews it’s kud tells us everything we need to know about the animal. If the animal was a fighter like a lion it would have claws. Hashem wouldn’t give a lion a hoot. So obviously the animal with a hood is not a fighter or attacks other animals. And the only reason why an animal would need 4 stomachs or chew it’s due is because it eats grass which is hard to break down and animal that eats meat doesn’t need to chew it over and over. Therefore by seeing split hoofs and seeing it chew it’s cud. Tells you. The animal doesn’t have claws and chew it’s cud tells u it doesn’t it meat it eats grass !! I found that very smart and Im shocked no one knows this also the significance of scales on a fish is scales are like armor in the Gemara. And the top of the water is very warm for fish and they require to go deeper to stay cool. Scales protects the fish from the heat and allows it to stay closer to the top. Apparently the bottom is associated with more tumah
