Fox and human digestive system

The digestion that occurs in the red fox is very similar to that of a humans, considering they are both mammals. Both have mainly the same organs, and like humans, the red fox has special adaptations that help it digest its food.
1) First, the food enters
the mouth where mechanical digestion takes place (chewing), and chemical
digestion does as well with digestive enzymes found in the salivary
gland. Foxes have sharp canines suited to tear apart their food because they eat a lot of tough meat.

The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. In fact, digestion starts here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use. Also called the pharynx, the throat is the next destination for food you've eaten. From here, food travels to the esophagus or swallowing tube.

So these are the same because they both go through the same process and come out the same way.
