They have big flat teeth used for gringing down the plants they eat. But they do have what are called canines. Not only do most mammals, including herbivores, have canine teeth; but the largest canine teeth of any land mammal belong to a true herbivore: the hippopotamus. Hippos are extremely territorial and aggressive; their sword-like canines, which can reach a terrifying sixteen inches in length, are used for combat and play no role in feeding. The hippo's diet consists of grass, on which it grazes at dusk.
