Most of the teeth that carnivores have are pointy and designed to pierce and rip. as opposed to herbivores where the teeth are flat and are designed to grind and to hold in order to pull pieces of plant material from plants. Omnivores often have a combination of both sharp and blunt grinding teeth.

Yes. Meat-eating animals (carnivores) have teeth that are long, sharp, and pointed. These teeth are useful for piercing into flesh, even while the owner of the flesh is still alive and trying to escape, and ripping the flesh from the bone. Their dagger-like teeth are spaced apart to avoid trapping stringy debris. Vegetarian animals (herbivores) have teeth that are not pointed, but flat-edged and often spade-shaped. These are useful for biting, crushing, and grinding seeds, leaves, stems, tubers, and fruits. So-called "canine teeth" are not very useful in determining whether an animal is an herbivore or a carnivore. With the exception of rodents, rabbits, and pikas, nearly all mammals have canine teeth. Several herbivores have enormous canine teeth, and the largest canine teeth of any land animal belong to a true herbivore: the hippopotamus.

Meat-eaters (carnivores) have sharp canine teeth. Plant-eaters have flat teeth to grind food. Meat and plant eaters (omnivores) have both flat teeth and sharp canines. (Humans are omnivores)

Why do some animals ruminate?

Animals like cows, oxen are called ruminant animals. They chew the semi digested food as a part of digestion. There will be four compartments in the stomach of these ruminant animals. It takes almost three days to digest the food completely. These animals will directly swallow the food they take. This food material will reach the first compartment, rumen and is softened here and also partially digested. This semi digested food will be taken back into mouth where they chew them till they are softened. This is called rumination. This softened food material now goes to the second compartment, called reticulum. There it undergoes filtration and reaches third compartment, omasum and gets digested. There after the remaining amount is totally digested in the fourth compartment, abomesum.


Does animals depend on other organisms for food?
