I remember reading somewhere that dolphins have four stomachs like ruminants. Is this true?
Sort of... they don't actually have "four stomachs", but they do have "forestomachs". That is to say a dolphion's stomach is compartmentalised, the first compartment being called the forestomach, so there are certainly similarities with ruminants.
