Sheep, like many other ruminants, have teeth that continuously grow throughout their lives to compensate for the wear and tear caused by their fibrous diet, which includes tough grasses and plants. This adaptation helps them efficiently process their food, as their teeth can become worn down from constant grinding. Continuous growth ensures that they maintain the ability to chew effectively and obtain necessary nutrients from their diet.

Do horses teeth continue to grow throughout it's life?

No. Answer2: A horses teeth are fully grown by the time they lose their baby or milk teeth. Once this happens the horses adult teeth begin to erupt through the gum-line and continue to do this for the vast majority of their adult life. The purpose of dental eruption in horses is to replace the amount of tooth lost to chewing up the tough forages horses evolved to eat. The forages are tough and wear down the dental surfaces necessitating dental eruption to replace what was lost.

Are wombats in the rodent family?

No. Wombats are marsupials. However, wombats' teeth are unlike those of other marsupials, and more like a rodent's teeth. They continue to grow throughout the wombat's life, and so this marsupial must regularly gnaw on wood and other items that will help wear down the teeth.
