Excerpt from Richardson's Natural History: An Introduction to Animated Nature; Profusely Illustrated
The stomach is generally proportioned to the quality of the animal's food. Thus, in those that live upon flesh, it is small and glandular, Whereas in such animals as live entirely on vegetables, the stomach is very large and those Who chew the end have no fewer than four stomachs, Which serve to convert their coarse food into proper nourishment.
