Answer:
- The flesh-eating animals (carnivores) like lions, tigers, leopards, crocodiles etc have long and well-developed canine teeth to first hold, grip and kill their prey.
- The sharp and long-pointed canine teeth help the carnivores to incapacitate the preyed animals.
- The canines also help to rip, cut and tear the meat before eating.
- The canine teeth are attached to the temporalis muscles of the jaw.
- These muscles aid in the movement of the jaw while eating their food.
- The other types of teeth that the carnivores have are the incisors, molars and premolars.
