Beavers and other rodents have sharper incisors to facilitate their unique feeding habits, which involve gnawing on wood, bark, and tough plant materials. Their continuously growing incisors are adapted for this purpose, allowing them to efficiently chew and shape their food. In contrast, cows are grazers that consume softer grasses and plants, so their teeth are more suited for grinding rather than cutting. This difference in diet leads to variations in tooth shape and sharpness between these animal groups.
