Cow's teeth are similar to our back teeth; our molars. All of their teeth are flat because of the constant grinding motion they make with their mouth. They only eat plant products such as grass or corn, unlike humans who are omnivores and eat both meat and plants. Our front teeth are more pointed so that we are able to tear food.
