Teeth
Teeth are among the most
distinctive (and long-lasting)
features of mammal species.
Paleontologists use teeth to identify
fossil species and determine their
relationships. The shape of the
animal's teeth are related to its
diet. For example, plant matter is
hard to digest, so herbivores have
many molars for chewing and
grinding. Carnivores, on the other
hand, need canines to kill prey and
to tear meat. 3

8.0 Insert text into table:
1. Insert the following text into
each row.
Incisors--Incisors are named
because they are used to incise
food. They are located in the front
of the mouth and have sharp, thin
edges for cutting.
Cuspids--cuspids, also referred to
as canines, are at the angles of the
mouth. Each has a single cusp in
stead of an incisal edge and are
designed for cutting and tearing.
Bicuspids--Bicuspids, also referred
to as premolars, are similar to the
cuspids. They have two cusps used
for cutting and tearing, and an
occlusal surface that is wider to
crush food.
Molars--Molars are located in the 1 2
back of the mouth; their size
gradually gets smaller from the
first to third molar. Each molar
has four or five cusps, is shorter
and more blunt in shape than other
teeth and provides a broad surface
for grinding and chewing solid
masses of food.
