Herbivores lack canine teeth because their diets consist primarily of plant material, which requires different dental adaptations for effective chewing and grinding. Instead of sharp teeth for tearing flesh, herbivores have flattened molars and premolars that are well-suited for grinding tough plant fibers. Canine teeth, typically found in carnivores, are used for capturing and processing meat, which is unnecessary for herbivorous diets. This dental structure reflects their evolutionary adaptations to efficiently process the types of food they consume.
