Digestive system of a penguin?
The digestive system of a penguin is specially adapted to process a diet primarily consisting of fish and krill. It begins with the beak, which captures prey and leads to the esophagus, where food is temporarily stored in the crop. The stomach has two parts: the proventriculus, which secretes digestive enzymes, and the gizzard, which grinds food with the help of ingested stones. Nutrient absorption occurs in the intestines, where waste is eventually excreted through the cloaca.
How dolphins digestive work?
Dolphins have a streamlined digestive system adapted for their carnivorous diet, primarily consisting of fish and squid. Food is ingested through their mouths and travels down the esophagus to the stomach, which has multiple chambers to aid in breaking down the food. The digestive process includes the secretion of enzymes and acids that help in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, with undigested materials eventually expelled through the anus. Additionally, dolphins have a relatively short digestive tract, allowing for quick processing of their prey.
