Kangaroos are quite different to other grass eaters. By its nature and structure, grass is abrasive on an animal's teeth. Many grazing animals have molars with open roots which grow continuously throughout the animal's life, so the teeth never wear down completely. Kangaroos do not have this open root structure. Instead, they have four pairs of cheek teeth on both sides, and only their front pairs of teeth are worn by chewing the tough grass. When these front teeth are worn down to the roots, they fall out and the next pair of teeth move forward to replace them. By the time the animal reaches the age of fifteen or twenty years, it is down to its last pair of teeth.
