What is special about ruminants digestive system?
A ruminant's digestive tract has 4 sections to its stomach. Because the plant matter that most ruminants enjoy is hard to digest, ruminants have to regurgitate food to chew it again (e.i., "chewing the cud"). The four stomachs allow the hard-to-digest food to be digested many times.
Are cats have digestive compartment like ruminants?

What kind of digestive system does a wolverine have?
Wolverines have a monogastric digestive system, similar to that of humans, consisting of a single-chamber stomach where food is initially digested. They have a short digestive tract that aids in processing and absorbing nutrients efficiently from their carnivorous diet.
How are ruminants' digestive system are adapted to ensure survival?
Oh, dude, ruminants like cows and sheep have this super cool digestive system where they chew their food, swallow it, regurgitate it, and chew it again. It's like a never-ending cycle of chewing! This helps break down tough plant materials and extract as many nutrients as possible to keep these animals thriving in the wild. So yeah, their digestive system is totally adapted to ensure their survival, like a boss.
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 the term for animals that have multi-compartment stomachs, and how does this unique digestive system benefit their overall health and nutrition?
The term for animals with multi-compartment stomachs is "ruminants." This unique digestive system allows ruminants to efficiently break down tough plant materials through a process called rumination. This benefits their overall health and nutrition by enabling them to extract more nutrients from their food and better digest fibrous plant material.
How do ruminants' digestive systems are adapted to ensure survival?
Ruminants digestive systems are adapted to ensure survival as it allows them to consume a wide variety of vegetation. More robust plant material has plenty of time to break down so that the nutrients can be fully absorbed by the body.
How does cow's digestive system is similar to human?
You are not going to get that "long answer." A cow's and human's digestive system is NOT the same, I don't care how you try to go about it. Yes they are similar in function, by the fact that they both break down and digest food or feed to more manageable and smaller molecules to be absorbed into the body via blood stream to the zillion cells that are in the body, but they are not the same in what is digested and the whole processes that set a cow's digestive system apart from that of a human's.
What body system does the intestines belong to?
