Carnivores
Lions
Deer
Carnivores have...
sharp teeth to help them tear meat.
They eat grass, leaves, fruits, or vegetables.
Premolars and Molars (Back Teeth):
Example:
You take a big bite of a carrot with your front teeth.
Example:
You use your canines to tear a piece of chicken or bite into a chewy pizza crust.
These teeth crush and grind food into smaller pieces so you can swallow it easily.
What Are Carnivores and Herbivores?
Teeth help you eat different foods by breaking them down into smaller pieces so you can swallow and digest them more easily.
All your teeth work together to help you eat your favorite foods, from crunchy snacks to chewy treats! 😊
Rabbits
These teeth tear food apart, like meat or tough bread.
Cows
Animals eat different kinds of food to stay alive.
Incisors (Front Teeth):
Carnivores are animals that eat only....
meat.
Canines (Pointy Teeth):
Sharks
Elephants
Herbivores have flat teeth to help them chew plants.
Some animals eat meat, some eat plants, and some eat both!
These are the sharp, flat teeth in the front of your mouth.
Each type of tooth has a special job:
Tigers
Wolves
