Canines are used to cut food and are usually found in predatorial animals. Sheep have lots of incosors - your front 4 teeth bottom and top - to rip the grass they eat. The molars and pre-molars grind the grass to make it eadible. They also chew the cud
The ridges on a sheep's molars are known as lamellae, which help in grinding down tough plant material.
