In many omnivorous mammals, such as a gorilla, they are adapted for shearing sharply. In cats, the incisors are small; biting off meat is done with the canines and the carnivals. In elephants, the upper incisors are modified into curved tusks (unlike with Narwhals, where it is a canine that develops into a straight and twisted tusk).[1] The incisors of rodents grow throughout life and are worn by gnawing.

How are teeth differentiated?

Teeth are differentiated by their structure, function, and location in the mouth. There are four main types: incisors (flat, used for cutting), canines (pointed, for tearing), premolars (flat, for grinding), and molars (larger, for crushing). Each type has a unique shape and number of roots that correspond to its specific role in the chewing process. Additionally, teeth vary in size, with molars being the largest and incisors the smallest.
