1. Is 'on all four' a literal translation or a colloquial one? Is it even possible that the ancients use 'on all four' colloquially as we do? Simple Hebrew/Aramaic research will answer the first part.
2. The ruminent issue is discussed at
www.answersingenesis.org (search for ruminant probably). The point made is that the term 'chew the cud' may have included both classic cud chewing and the fact that rabbits eat their dung.
