Are there any animals that have a daily routine of 3 meals a day like humans?
548616
The answer is no because there is no animal in nature including humans whose biochemistry is made to work on 3 meals a day.  Eating only 3 times a day is a very unhealthy habit that humans only participate in.  Everything else in nature has more sense than to overload its digestive system with three large meals instead of the natural eat as you need system that animal chemistry is based on.  Three meals a day is a system developed centuries ago to make eating convenient even if it was not a healthy way to get your nutrition.  Three meals a day generally restricts the number of different foods you eat and reduces the number of different nutrients you take in which is why we have vitamins.  When overloaded with large meals your body slows down everything else to deal with the overload and that is why being physically active right after a large meal is generally a really bad idea.  This is like starting and stopping a car. It is the hardest wear and tear you can put on your body.  You will live a lot longer in much better shape by eating six times a day with a greater variety of food types if you can manage it.

your digestive system have space to process the food 3 times a day. if you eat less, it gives it time to rest, if you eat more, the system works non-stop. since different people have different metabolism, the best is eat only when hungry and never over-eat.

of course not, just like eating, three times a day!

A normal range is generally 3 times a day to 3 times a week.\n\nA person who has a perfect and fluid system, goes about 3 times a day!  Basically, after every meal.\n\nBut once a day is the okay too\n\nFor someone who goes less often, it is not that healthy for the system, though not entirely detrimental. It means waste is staying in the system for too long of a period of time.\n\nHere's more info:\nhttp://familydoctor.org/037.xml

I think it has a lot to do with how people fed them when they were young.  Animals that were not fed frequently enough during the day were famished when food was put before them, so they learned to eat quickly everything that was set in front of them.  In the book I got for raising my puppy, it said to leave food out for him all day long, that way he would never get super hungry and gulp his food.  He is now four years old and only gets fed once a day.  He eats half of the food in his bowl before his walk and when he gets back he eats the other half. Some days he chooses to not finish his dinner and I end up throwing it away.\nSo I guess animals are a lot like humans... if you establish good eating habits when you are young, it serves you well your whole life.

Raccoons, but they usually wash their food with their hands, go figure. Or Otters... but they're always wet, and have to dive to get their food anyway. Same with muskrats.

There are two issues here. One is that the body shape of ruminants and herbivores in general is very different from ours. If you think about it, their trunks aren't fat, but rather their legs are proportionally thin; that's the typical body shape for good runners such as ungulates (hoofed mammals) which they are.\nIn addition, mammals that are herbivorous and feed specially on grass tend to have large abdomens. That is only partially related to the number of digestive compartments they have (think of a leaf-eating gorilla compared with a slimmer omnivorous baboon); usually their intestine is extra long because they need more absorptive surface, as leaves are not the most nutritious and easy-to-digest food.\nA side note: cows don't have 4 stomachs; only the last of those cavities is equivalent to our stomach (i.e. glandular, with enzyme secretion) whereas the other 3 are often considered as subdivisions of the esophagus. \nAll that being said, a pampered cow that ingests more energy more than what it spends, will get as fat as a cow ;)

All animals that have mammary glands to produce and feed their young ones with MILK are mammals. So Rodents like rats,mice and bandicoots are all mammals.BUT all mammals are not rodents. Lions and Elephants ARE mammals but they are NOT rodents.All human beings are mammals.But are they rodents? The last example will clear any doubt in your mind.\nRodents have their own peculiarities, which set them apart from other mammals.\nThey have burrowing habits, the front teeth or the incisors are longer than the others, sharp and pointed. They continue to grow for long. Therefore. The animal must constantly ‘GNAW’ at something to keep them trim and sharp.\n Besides the examples quoted above; the others in the category of rodents are rabbits, hares, squirrels and otters. They all come under class- Mammalia and order-Rodentia.

humans... Homo sapiens\namerican buffalo ...  Bison bison\nchinook salmon... Oncorhynchus tshawytscha\ncommon chimpanzee... Pan troglodytes\npygmy chimpanzee...  Pan paniscus\n\nNote that the species is identified by both its genus and species name, with the genus capitalized and the species not capitalized... The genus and species can even be the same name, like the buffalo.  Species can sometimes be broken down into sub-species as well...

Uh humans are animals!

A 200lb adult eats about 3 pounds of food everyday.

Only one - they are hind gut fermenters like species such as horses and rabbits, as opposed to ruminants which have different chambers of the stomach opening and ferment their food there.  They do have a large caecum (closest human equivilant would probably be the appendix, I believe) to help them do this.

They do, but some animals have a higher tolerance than humans.  Think about it, how would you feel after you eat a rotten carcass or plants off the ground.

animals are generally classed as carnivores (those that eat other animals), herbivores (those that eat plants) or omnivores (those that eat both plants and animals).\n\nThese classifications are not absolute.  Cats and wolves are considered carnivores, but will sometimes also eat plant material.  Hippos are considered herbivores, but have been known to eat meat too.\n\nWithin each classification, there are also different names to refer to specialities within each type.  For example, a carnivore could be called a piscivore (eats fish) or insectivore (eats insects), and a herbivore could be called a graminivore (eats grasses) or frugivore (eats fruit).

In general, any animal that has small litters must develop higher skills to look after them. Animals that have larger litters (turtles for example) bet on chance to lead some of them into adulthood.  So I would disagree with you. Human beings can raise even one single offspring successfully. OK, elephants do so, but giraffes do so too and dolphins.
