What specializations are common in the digestive tract of higher organisms such as humans?
Common specializations in the digestive tract of higher organisms like humans include the presence of villi and microvilli in the small intestine for increased surface area absorption, the production of digestive enzymes by the pancreas to aid in breaking down food, and the presence of specialized cells in the stomach that secrete acid and enzymes for digestion.
How do lions digest their food?

What is the similarities between the digestive system of a bird and a human?
Humans and lions are both mammals.Characteristics of mammals are:All mammals reproduce by giving birth to their young.All mammals feed their young ones with milk.All mammals have hairs on their body.Therefore if the two are classified in the MAMMALS section so their bodies must be the same.From my opinion humans and mammals have the same digestive system.Humans and mammals can't have the same digestive system as humans eat plants (we are omnivores) and lions eat meat (carnivore). Therefore we have different digestive needs, our intestinal tract would be longer than that of any carnivore (so we can get the most nutrients out of the food we eat, whereas a carnivore needs a shorter digestive tract so the meat doesn't go rotten inside it's intestine).Seriously think about it, cows are mammals as well but they have four stomachs (because they are herbivores)!
