Answer:
In general, meat-eating carnivores have teeth for tearing and skulls capable of biting with great force, while the plant-eating herbivores have teeth and skulls equipped to grind tough vegetation. Omnivores, which eat both plants and animals, have skulls and dentition suitable for a wide range of foods.

Answer:
Carnivores have large, obvious canines, and the rear teeth have a number of small, sharp points or cusps. Adult badgers have relatively short canines, a crest along the top of the skull and the lower jaw cannot be detached; badger skulls less than a year old have no crest and the lower jaw is not attached to the skull.
