How does a reptile digest furry animals?

Answer 1

Reptiles, such as snakes, digest furry animals using a slow and efficient process. They possess strong digestive enzymes and acids that break down fur and other soft tissues after swallowing their prey whole. The prey is typically stored in the stomach, where it is gradually digested, allowing the reptile to extract nutrients over several days to weeks. The indigestible parts, such as fur and bones, are eventually excreted.
