How do scientists learn about extinct animals?
Through the science of archiology. They dig up the bones and other remains of animals, reassemble them kinda like a 3-D jigsaw puzzle, and study the skeletal sructure of the animal. This gives a lot of general information. They then study individual parts of the skeleton to learn some more detailed things. The teeth for instance will tell if they were an herbavore (with flat grinding teeth), a carnavor (with sharp cutting teeth), or an omnivor, with a combination of types of teeth (like humans have)

Can you tell the gender of a horse by its teeth?
No, you can vaguely tell the age however, by the length and wear on the teeth. The answer that I've seen is yes, that mature male horses have between 40 and 44 teeth, while mature females have 36-40. Yes, that may be true, however if both a mare and a gelding both have 40 teeth then there is no way to tell its gender. And why would you count teeth when you could just look underneith the horse or under the tail to see the gender.

How did australopithecus live?
It is quite hard to tell what the australopithecines ate because their teeth arent very specialised, and it is through the form of the teeth that we can tell most about an animal may have eaten. One thing we can say is that their diet probably wasn't particularly specialised because their teeth aren't specifically adapted to a particular type of diet such as being meat eaters or fruit eaters. The tiny, microscopic scratches left on their teeth from the food they ate suggests a diet something like modern day gorrillas, but it is important to remember that the australopithicus includes several different species which each would have had their own dietary patterns. It has been postulated that they would have survived on a diet of nuts, berries and edible greens.
