Alpacas have three compartments in their stomach to efficiently digest their fibrous plant-based diet, primarily consisting of grasses and other vegetation. This specialized digestive system, similar to that of other camelids, allows them to break down tough plant materials through fermentation, maximizing nutrient absorption. The three compartments—rumen, reticulum, and omasum—work together to facilitate this complex digestive process, enabling alpacas to thrive in their natural habitats.
