The digestive system is adapted to digest fats through the action of bile and pancreatic enzymes. Bile, produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, emulsifies fats, breaking them into smaller droplets to increase the surface area for enzyme action. The pancreas then secretes lipases, which are enzymes that specifically break down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This efficient process allows fats to be absorbed effectively in the small intestine.

Lacteals are the specialized lymphatic capillaries of the small intestine which transfer fats from the digetive system into the blood. Chyle (pronounced Kyle) is milky fluid found in the lacteals formed by fat globules and lymph.
bile is the emulsification agent that helps to digest fats.
Fat -Stella
Digestive enzymes, such as lipases, break down fats in the digestive system into fatty acids and glycerol. Lipases are produced mainly in the pancreas and help to digest dietary fats for absorption in the intestines.

Carnivores obtain their nutrition by consuming other animals. They primarily rely on meat as a source of protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals needed for their growth, energy, and overall health. Their digestive system is adapted to efficiently digest and absorb nutrients from animal sources.
The osprey, a fish-eating bird of prey, has a specialized digestive system adapted for its diet. It captures fish using its sharp talons and typically tears it into smaller pieces before swallowing. The food passes through a muscular stomach called the gizzard, where it is further broken down. Enzymes then digest the nutrients, allowing the osprey to efficiently absorb the proteins and fats essential for its energy needs.
Fats are digested in the small intestine.
