Best Answer

Antelopes are herbivores, grass eaters, they need teeth to shear the grass, and to grind it up. Predators' teeth, carinvore (=meat eaters) teeth look quite different. Just look in the mouth of any cat or dog. It's the grabbing canines, and the shearing teeth. No grinders.

Why do lions look different to antelope?

Lions look differnt to an antelope beacuse they have differnt adaptations. They akso have differences depending on what they eat eg. a lion is a carnivore and an antelope is a herbivore. The lion is the predator so has a sandy colour to not be seen by the prey and has strong eyes to look around and spot the prey. The antelope has strong legs to run away from the predator as it is the prey. Also it has eyes on the side of its head s it can look behind himself. A prey may use it s adaptation for hiding from the predator and a predator may use its adaptation to look for its prey.
