They are the ribs.  Though technically only 7 of them go completely around to surround the heart and lungs.

A normal pregnancy in horses lasts approximately 11 months - around 340 days. Colt foals tend to be carried longer than fillies. Premature foals may be born and survive, with intensive care, after 310 days gestation. Foals may, on rare occasions, be carried three to four weeks over time.

The spiral shell allows the animal inside to grow.  As it grows, the sheel develops a wider turn at the open end and the animal grows into this space.

Fish have 2 major chambers (one auricle and one ventricle, plus one sinus venosus - before the auricle - and a conus arteriosus - after the ventricle). However, in the lungfishes there is a partial separation of both the main chambers, linked to the existence of a pulmonary blood circuit. \nAmphibians have two auricles and one ventricle, and the latter has deep "pockets" where oxygenated and deoxygenated blood goes, so that these two blood volumes do not mix much  while each flows through its respective circuit.\nReptiles... well, there is no such thing as a "reptile" really but rather three different groups. Both the turtles and the squamates (lizards and snakes) have two auricles and one ventricle, and the latter is partially separated by a spiral septum so that the pulmonary and body circuit do not usually mix (except in special circumstances). \nCrocodiles are related to birds, and just like them, they have a four chambered heart, with two auricles and two ventricles. However, in crocs the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood can get mixed because they have a hole between the paired main blood vessels that leave the heart. \nBoth birds and mammals have also four-chambered hearts with completely separate pulmonary and body circuits. \nCheck the link, there are good schematic illustrations and explanations for each taxon.

A figure 8 noseband is used on horses that open their mouths to evade the bit. The nose band is actually one long narrow leather strap that encircles the horse's face. Usually it is applied so that the strap is in front of the bit mouthpiece, then the strap goes under the chin and up over the nose through a circular piece of leather resembling a button. This button puts further pressure on the sensitive bridge area of the nose to discourage the horse from opening his mouth. The figure 8 noseband is usually adjusted to be rather snug.\n\nFor horses that put their tongues over the bit as a way of evading the control of the bit, typically the tongue is literally tied down using a strip of linen that is then knotted under the chin. A tongue tie wil NOT keep a horse's mouth closed!\n\nHorses do not and CANNOT breathe through their mouths like we can. A horse ONLY breathes through its nostrils. \n\nConsidering the physical position and length of the tongue in relation to the windpipe I cannot see how a horse could physically swallow its tongue! In the 4.5 decades I've been working with horses, I have never heard of one actual instance of a horse swallowing its tongue; getting the tongue over a bit - certainly! But not swallowing it!

I'm not a dentiation expert, but I associate cecum size with diet.  Herbivores have very large cecums and carnovores have smaller ones.  I associate hypsodont molars with horses and such, so I'm going to say they have the larger cecum.

The bird and mammalian heart have four chambers...

Cows are ruminant animals.  That means that they have the so-called four chambered stomach.  In actuality, only one of those chambers is actually the stiomach and the others sacs off of the esophagus.\n\nGrass is an incredibly tough thing to eat because it contains silicon dioxide in it (basically sand) and the cell walls are difficult to process.  Most grass-eating species use fermentation to break down the grass.  Fermentation is the utilization of single-celled organisms like yeasts and bacteria to break down sugars anaerobically (without oxygen).  the first chamber of the cow stomach (the rumen) acts as that fermentation tank.  The cow chews its food, it enters the rumen and the bacteria take over.  Grass being the tough plant that it is does not break down easily, so what the cow will occasionally miz up the contents in the rumen by passing it to the reticulum (the second chamber) and back.  When that isn't enough, they regurgitate the food and chew it up some more (called chewing the cud).  This breaks the grass particles up further and allows the bacteria more access to the grass to break it down further.\n\nWhen it is sufficiently broken down, it is passed down through the reticulum, through the omasum and into the abomasum (the true stomach) - and then it is pretty normal digestion after that.

It's just fat, I'm afraid.\n\nHere's the evidence, courtesy of Yahoo! (see source):\n\n'It's not a water tank at all -- it's actually a giant mound of fat that can weigh up to 80 pounds. The hump has a reason for being there -- it allows the camel to survive for up to two weeks without food, an essential skill for the desert-dwelling animals.'

rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum - the abomasum is most similar to what our stomachs do.
