Dentition of Animals.pptx

Do you know that
animals have

different types of
teeth?

Why do carnivores,
herbivores, and
omnivores have

different types of teeth
according to their
eating habits ?







Do you know?
Not all omnivores
have the same set
of teeth because
certain omnivores
do not have teeth,
such as chickens

and pigeons.



If animals had teeth
that did not suit their

eating habits, what
would happen to these

animals?

Observe the following
situations.

Why can’t the goat below cut
the grass easily ?

Herbivores

The goat does not has strong
incisors to cut the grass.

Why it is difficult for the lion
below to tear the meat ?

Carnivores

The lion does not has sharper
canines to tear the meat.

Why could the orang-utans below eat
the fish easily, but not the banana ?

They only have canines to tear the
fish but do not have incisors to cut

the banana.
