Question:
I need to find out what the diffrence is between a herbivor and a carnivors digestive system is?

Replies:
One main difference between the digestive systems of herbivores and carnivores is that carnivores have one stomache, where as many herbivores like sheep, goats and cows have 3 or 4 stomaches where the food has to be regurgitated and chewed again, then reswallowed where it enters into another stomache to be digested.
