Explanation:
Carnivores
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.
Herbivores
Herbivores survive by consuming plant material. While some are indiscriminate grazers that consume a variety of plants, others are specialists that only eat a single plant species. For example, goats may eat virtually any vegetation they encounter, but koalas subsist entirely on eucalyptus plants. In general, plant foods are difficult to breakdown and digest; so, many herbivores have several pairs of broad molars that they use to grind leaves, shoots, and twigs. Often, herbivores feature ridged molars and jaws capable of moving sideways. Both of these traits help herbivores to grind their food more effectively. Most herbivores are missing canines entirely, and those that do possess them usually have very small or reduced canines that are not very important for chewing food. Some herbivores have large incisors for clipping or tearing vegetation, but they may only occur on the lower jaw. For example, most deer lack upper incisors and press their lower incisors against their hard, upper palate to rip twigs and branches from trees. By contrast, horses have both upper and lower incisors that they use to clip vegetation cleanly. Some herbivores have evolved teeth that are no longer involved in feeding at all. For example, the large tusks of elephants are highly modified incisors. Elephants use their tusks to manipulate items in their environment, dig for water, and defend themselves. Walruses and some pigs also feature incisors that have evolved into tusks used for foraging, defense, and intra-species combat.
