Why does a cow have no upper teeth?
Because, through the process of evolution, ruminants have had no need for upper teeth. Cows also do not have flexible lips like horses do, so upper teeth are not needed.

Their lower incisors are also angled outwards (away from the mouth) to help with shearing and tearing off plants to eat.
