for the same reasons dogs are,to eat meat and fat. in other words most with canine teeth eat a lot of meat because it is easyer to chew and rip than with no canine teeth yours because people with canines eat meat alot so the canines help cut or tear the meat apart for easy digestion and also when we were in the stone age we ate raw faty meat meaning we needed some way to cut up our meat, that or become herbovoiers[ SORRY ABOUT MY SPELLING I,M ONLY 12] any way we eat meat with our canines

Goats are born with small 'baby teeth' which are called milk teeth. When the kid is first born, the doe's milk won't flow immediately - the kid needs to clear a plug of mucus that blocks the teat, and teeth help the kid to grip and do this. After this, the milk teeth help the kid to keep hold of the teat and suckle. Kids also start nibbling at solid foods when they are still very young, and their milk teeth let them do this as well. As the kid grows older, the milk teeth are replaced with adult teeth, and the number of adult teeth can be used as a guide to work out how old the goat is.
