A cow has a four-chambered stomach that digests plant matter more efficiently than a human's. Cows are called ruminantsbecause they are able to regurgitate partly digested material and rechew it again. A human, on the other hand, has a simple stomach, and is a part of the single-stomached group called monogastrics, which all have one simple stomach designed to digest protein and carbohydrates, not fibrous plant material.

Lions have a simple stomach for eating meat only, and thus are known as monogastrics. Cows, on the other hands, have a stomach with four chambers and also regurgitate partly digested food (which is plant matter) to be rechewed as cud. Thus, cows are known as ruminants. Lions are carnivores, and cows are herbivores.
