    The structure (shape and number) of an animal's teeth vary according to what food they consume.

    For example, molars - flat teeth at the back of the mouth are very different among different types of animals:

    • Herbivores (eat plants) have strong and flat molars,

    • Carnivores (eat meat) have limited number of molars,

    • Omnivores (eat combine food) have molars for grinding.

    On the other hand canine teeth are small or sometimes don't even exist in herbivores are very defined and sharp in carnivores.
