1. Food eaten - Giraffes mainly eat plants that they are able to reach, such as tall trees where they eat leaves and twigs, but they have been known to lick dried flesh from bones. Dental formula and total dentition - Giraffes have no upper incisors or canines but have a long diastema between both cheeks, the dental formula is 0:0:3:33. Shape and size of the teeth - The giraffe's teeth are relatively large but also blunt so that they are able to crush food (leaves and twigs) with a lot of force until it is able to swallow, the bluntness is also used to help grab leaves from the tree so that it is easier to detach leaves and twigs from the tree.4. Length and Complexity of the Digestive System: The giraffe's digestive system is made up of 4 stomachs as one has adapted to the diet of twigs and leaves. The intestine measures up to 80 meters in length and has a relatively small large intestine and liver. Surprisingly, the gallbladder is where the giraffe calf grows during pregnancy, but it may disappear before birth.5. Stomach pH: A giraffe's stomach pH levels are between 4 and 5 with food in the stomach6. Eating habits – how much they eat and how often they eat – giraffes eat about 34 kilograms a day and spend most of their days eating and foraging for food, at least three-quarters of the day is spent foraging and eating food. Omnivore – flamingo: 1) Food consumed: Mostly small fish and insects make up the main diet of the flamingo, but they are also known to eat organisms such as red algae and larvae. 2) Dental formula and total dentition: People may get confused and say that flamingo has no teeth but the long downward curved beak is known as upper and lower jaw. 3) Shape and size of the teeth: the beak has small grooves, almost like you... in the center of the paper... the animal and chew it into small pieces so that it is easier to swallow.4) Length and complexity of the digestive system: the Lions digestive system is very simple, just like ours, the salivary glands help to moisten the food so it can travel down the esophagus is easier, once the food is in the stomach digestion it happens very quickly because of the strong gastric juices and because of the raw meat they eat they don't use enzymes to break down the food. Small molecules of nutrients are absorbed in the intestine and then the waste of that food is excreted through the rectum and anus.5) Stomach pH: For a carnivore like lion or an omnivore the pH level in the stomach is lower or equal to equal to 1 with food in the stomach.6) how much eaten and how often he eats- a lion will eat about 40 kilograms in one "serving" and will eat about 5-6 times a day.
