Koalas have a really long and complicated digestive system because they only eat Leaves( Eucalyptus Leaves mainly), and these leaves contain toxins which allows their digestive system to take a longer amount of time to break down the food and digest.
The digestive system of an individual is unique. The amount of time it takes to digest an olive could be relatively short if the person is in good health. Olives are not a food that normally causes issues for people to digest.
In the digestive system of a lion, the organs are 24 feet long. Food in their digestive system digests very quick, even meat.

From eating to excretion, it takes about fifty-three hours to digest food. The first six to eight hours passing through the stomach into the small intestine, and an average of forty hours digesting in the large intestine.
Animals that digest roughage and thrive need to have large complex stomachs and digestive systems like cows or sheep where the food (roughage) can spend a long time, being broken down by enzymes and bacterial actions and the nutrients extracted. The digestive system of a chicken is not very big, it is designed for food that has nutrients ready to be absorbed. So any roughage in the digestive system will be eliminated from the body before any nutrients can be extracted. But roughage although not a very nutrient rich item for the chicken is good for cleaning out the digestive system, just like for people.
A pigeon has a gizzard, crop, and cloaca that it uses to digest foods. The gizzard grinds up food and pebbles and the crop temporarily stores food. The cloaca is the opening for the intestinal, reproductive, and urinary tracts.
A dog's digestive tract is about 5 times the length of its body.
Corn can never be fully digested by the human digestive system. This is because corn contains cellulose, which cannot be digested by humans.
The length of digestive tract is necessary to absorb as much nutrients as possible. In carnivores, the digestive tract is shorter because their diet is comprised mostly of meat. Herbivores such as cows, while also containing multiple stomaches, have a relatively longer digestive tract because their diet is mostly comprised of plant, which may take more time to digest due to the cellulose.
the cows digestion takes 8 hours to digest the food or cud
It can take about a month for a sloth to digest food.
