Question

how are the teeth of carnivores animal adapted to suit the food they eat?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carnivorous animals subsist on the flesh, bones, and viscera of other creatures. Most carnivores have long, sharp teeth adapted to ripping, tearing or cutting flesh. While many also possess a few molars in the back of their mouths, and sharp incisors in the front, the most important teeth for carnivores are their long, sharp canine teeth. Carnivores drive these teeth through the flesh of their prey with the help of very large temporalis muscles, which are responsible for pulling the lower jaw upwards and backwards towards the skull. The temporalis muscles attach to the jaw at one end, and the top of the skull at the other end. To help accommodate larger temporalis muscles, some predators have evolved to have an enlarged ridge, termed the sagittal crest that acts as an attachment point or anchor for the muscle. However, the sagittal crest is not exclusively limited to carnivores, as it also appears in many herbivorous primates as well. Additionally, because predators must capture and kill their food before they can eat it, some possess teeth that aid in prey capture. Cats, for example, use their four, long canine teeth to sever their prey’s spinal cord. Some snakes have even more specialized prey-capturing teeth that have evolved into hypodermic-needlelike fangs to deliver venom into their prey.
