Cows have four stomachs

The answer is False.

Explanation

Cows have one stomach with four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The rumen alone can hold about 150 liters of fermenting food, and cows spend hours a day re-chewing their partially digested cud before it passes through the other chambers.
