Which of the following animals is NOT considered kosher?

In kosher dietary laws, foods must meet specific criteria outlined in Jewish law, particularly in the Torah. For an animal to be considered kosher, it must fall into certain categories: it must both chew its cud and have split hooves.

Among the animals listed, the pig is the only one that does not meet these criteria. While pigs have split hooves, they do not chew their cud, making them non-kosher according to these dietary laws. The other animals—sheep, goats, and deer—fulfill the requirements of having split hooves and chewing cud, and therefore are considered kosher.

This distinction highlights the significance of specific animal characteristics in determining dietary permissibility within Jewish culture and religious practices.
