Two Stomachs; why?
See a problem, theorize the "how," and prove the "how."
Three types of critters: Herbivores, carnivores, & omn
Most herbivores have more than one stomach—a rumen. This is
a requirement to digest the protein from cellulose. Chewing alone cannot do it.
In order to support this, herbivores are usually quadrupedal and have a long
“gut.” They chew, swallow the vegetation, 1st stomach digests and
regurgitates back to the mouth, they re-chew the “cud” and then swallow again.
This breaks down the cellulose to provide the animal with proteins.
Carnivores have a short gut and simple stomachs that supply
protein to them from the meat that they eat--monogastric. Alas, most of the
time, a carnivore is resting due to over-eating and they wait for the food to
digest before doing anything. Keep a lion full, and zoologists can walk right up
to them because they are too full to do anything about it—nor do they want
to.
Omnivores can digest both. All primates are omnivores. A
being millions of years old would have a specialized digestive system that would
allow for the efficient digestion of all food. However, it would definitely need
teeth that could support the re-chewing of “cud” to break down the cellulose.
What animal has this attributes needed for being a top predator?
Sasquatch.
He needs the protein requirement for its large frame and
the calories to support. He needs to be able to cool himself as well. Inner
choanae being on the outside of the nostril will support cooler breath
intake—slits. Dual rows of molars will allow the super-chewing to breakdown all
food in a “short gut” digestive system.
All of this is easy to explain if you think outside of a
human and their capabilities. Do sasquatch live in the hot, humid lands? Yes. Do
they live in the cold arid lands? Yes. It is capable of living nearly anywhere
and eating nearly everything—just as a millions of year old omnivorous critter
should be able to.
