Yes, elk have a chambered stomach, which is characteristic of ruminant animals. Their stomach consists of four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. This specialized digestive system allows them to efficiently break down tough plant materials, such as grasses and leaves, through fermentation and microbial action. This adaptation is essential for their survival in their natural habitats.
