How a rodent teeth adapted to a gnawing habit?
Most mammals have teeth that cannot grow back or repair when they are damaged. Mammals that gnaw on things experience a lot of wear and tear on those teeth. Eventually the teeth are so worn down they are useless, and the animal can starve. Rodents evolved to have front teeth that grow constantly. For them, gnawing on things just prevents the tooth from growing too long.

Do marsupials have teeth?
Most marsupials have sharp teeth at the very front, whether they are herbivores (like wombats and koalas) or carnivores (like Tasmanian devils and quolls). Some then have grinding molars further back. Kangaroos' teeth are different again. Kangaroos are grazing animals and they need strong teeth for chewing the grass they eat. The teeth of the kangaroo are continuously being worn down by the tough grasses they eat. Instead of continuously growing, once a kangaroo's front teeth are worn down completely, they fall out, and the back teeth move forwards to take the place of the worn front teeth. Kangaroos have four such pairs of chewing teeth.
