Most herbivores have a specialized stomach structure to aid in the digestion of plant material. The number of stomach compartments varies among species: ruminants like cows and sheep have four chambers (rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum), while non-ruminant herbivores like horses have a single-chambered stomach but possess a large cecum for fermentation. Other herbivores, such as rabbits, also have a single stomach but rely on a unique digestive process involving cecotrophy.

Can herbivores eat herbivores?
No. Herbivores eat only plants which is why they are called herbivores. A creature that eats plants AND meat is considered omnivorous (an omnivore).
Why aren there more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain?
It is the way nature plays out. The carnivores eat the herbivores, so it is impossible to have more carnivores then herbivores. If there are too few herbivores around, the carnivores begin to starve, so for that reason there will always be more herbivores then carnivores. Most carnivores protect there territories from other carnivores, killing them if necessary, because they instinctively know an area can only support so many carnivores based on food supply -- which for them are herbivores. Also many carnivores are capable of practicing birth control to some degree to keep their numbers appropriate for the number of herbivores that can sustain them.
Why do many herbivores have special digestive systems?
Many herbivores have special digestive systems to help break down and extract nutrients from the tough plant material they eat, which can be difficult to digest. These specialized systems often involve longer intestines, multiple stomach chambers, and symbiotic bacteria to aid in the digestion process.
Why herbivores have a four chambered stomach and humans have none?
Not ALL herbivores do, four chambers are a characteristic of "ruminant" herbivores. Herbivores need to be able to get energy from plant material (a sugar called cellulose) and to do this they need to get bacteria to "ferment" the plant material they eat (they then live on the reproducing bacteria). The chambers of the stomach are where this fermentation happens. Humans stomachs are designed to eat fruits and meat and therefor we do not need large stomachs (gorillas do because although they are not ruminants they live on plants).

What anamal farts the most?
All herbivores are notorious for passing wind, which is when the fodder is broken down in the stomach, and gases are produced.
What is the difference between a cow and a dogs digestive system?
Dogs are monogastrics. Cows are ruminants. Monogastrics have one simple stomach: Ruminants have a complex four-chambered stomach.
What is a wild ass a carnivore an herbivore or an omnivore?
Its an omnivore. It can stomach both meat and plants.
Are all small mammals herbivores?
No. There are many small mammalian carnivores, insectivores, piscivores, and omnivores. In fact, many mammalian carnivores hunt herbivores that are bigger than they are. The biggest land mammals are all herbivores.
What types of organisms are primary consumers?
Herbivores for example rabbits, because they eat plants. Many insects are herbivores as larvae, or as adults in the case of grasshoppers and locusts.
What herbivores eat plants?
All herbivores eat primarily plants. Many omnivores also eat plants.
What is a camel niche?
NicheThis grazing mammal favors grasses, leaves and shrubs, but it can also stomach thorns and dry vegetation that other herbivores cannot digest. This enables them to survive in areas of sparse vegetation.
