Wouldn't it be nice to have an extra compartment in your stomach for that all-you-can-eat buffet? Unfortunately, humans are only built with one, but how many stomach compartments does a cow have?

Cows have what is called a "ruminant stomach", which means they have four compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. Astonishingly, the main stomach of the cow (or the rumen) holds up to 50 gallons of food that has been partially digested.
