That all depends on the individual animal you're referring to. Ruminants like cattle, sheep, goats, deer, giraffes, antelope, bison, buffalo, moose, etc. all have four chambers in their stomachs. Camelids like camels, alpacas and llamas only have three compartments. Other animals that are not cud-chewing animals only have one chamber in that one stomach. Such animals are referred to as monogastrics (all apes and monkeys [including humans], pigs, bears, all wild and domestic dogs, all wild and domestic cats, all insects, monotremes, marsupials, etc.), or hind-gut fermentors (all equids like horses, zebras and donkeys, hippos, rhinos, elephants).

Is a platypus a ruminant?
No. Koalas are not ruminants. Ruminants have stomachs with four chambers; a koala's stomach has just one chamber.
Does moose has second stomach?
Like all deer, moose are ruminants. Ruminants only have one stomach. However, the confusion comes from the fact that the stomach of a ruminant is divided into four chambers.
What is the difference between a cow and a dogs digestive system?
Dogs are monogastrics. Cows are ruminants. Monogastrics have one simple stomach: Ruminants have a complex four-chambered stomach.
Animals with multiple stomachs are called?
Animals with more than one stomach, such as pigs and cows, are referred to as "polygastric", poly- meaning many and -gastric referring to the stomach.The scientific term is called poly-gastric ("many-stomach), for example cows are ruminants, they have four stomachs (or one stomach with four chambers).
What is the four compartments of the small ruminants?
the four chambers are the rumen , recticulam, omasum and abomasum
What is the term for animals that have four stomach chambers?
Ruminantsare animals that have a 4 chambered stomach, meaning they have one stomach with four divisions. Ruminants include some large animals that chew grass or leaves, such as cows and sheep.It is sometimes believed that almost any animal that chews grass or leaves is a ruminant with four stomachs but this is certainly not the case. Herbivorous marsupials are not ruminants; nor are rabbits and hares, or camels, llamas and alpacas, for example.
How do you identify that horse is not a ruminant?
They cannot regurgitate so unlike a ruminant you will never see a horse chewing it's cud. Ruminants all have cloven hooves and horses have a single hoof. If you were dissecting horse it would have a simple stomach. Ruminants have a complex stomach with four chambers.
How many heart chambers does the pigeon have?
Sheep are ruminants, which means that they have four stomach chambers. The myth that you have probably heard about cows having four stomachs is not true, cows have one stomach, containing four chambers (rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum). Animals with only one stomach chamber (like humans) are known as monogastric animals.
How many stomachs do ruminants animals have?
They don't. Cows only have one digestive system. They do, however, have a stomach with four chambers. Perhaps that is where you are getting the four-something from as far as bovine digestive physiology is concerned.
What is a pseudo-ruminant?
A pseudoruminant is the classification of an animal based on its digestive tract. These types of animals are still considered foregut-fermentors, but only have three chambers in their stomach, not four like true ruminants do. Pseudo means "false". So they are "false" ruminants. The chambers are basically the reticulum, omasum and abomasum. They do not have the characteristic rumen that identifies ruminants as ruminants. The animals that are often referred to as pseudoruminants are all camelids (camels, alpacas, llamas, etc.)
Does a sheep have more than four stomachs?
Sheep don't have four stomachs, but they do have four chambers acting like a single stomach. These chambers include the rumen, abomasum, omasum, and reticulum.
Why do whales have 4 chambered stomachs like cows?
I believe they do not have such a stomach like cows do. Since the majority of whales are carnivorous, not herbivorous, they only require one stomach with one chamber, not one with four chambers like ruminants do.
