The gateway to your stomach is called the lower esophageal sphincter. This ring-like muscle opens and closes the passage between your esophagus and your stomach, as needed. During the digestive process, the sphincter relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. Food goes through a significant part of the digestive process inside your stomach.

Is there a something usual in the way alpacas eat?

Yes, alpacas are pseudoruminants. They have 3 stomachs. In the first two stomachs, food ferments. They also chew their cud, which means that regurgitated food can come back up to be chewed again before returning to the stomachs. In the third stomach, the food is digested. This system allows them to maximize the nutrition of their food.
