Transcript Teeth Kitty & Daisy

Introduction
Many animals have teeth to tear, chew and
grind their food.
There are three main different diet types,
which are: Carnivores, Herbivores and
Omnivores.
Carnivores (Leopard)
Meat eating animals are
called carnivores. They
have sharp teeth for
tearing and ripping their
prey. They have dagger
like canines which can
grow up to 6 inches long.
They have smaller front
teeth called
incisors,which come
together to bite or scrape
meat from bones.
Omnivores (humans)
Omnivores teeth are multi use. This
means they are able to eat meat,
veg and plants. Sometimes at the
same time. Their teeth are all
different for different uses.
Herbivore (horse)
Herbivores eat
plants, leaves and
grass. They have
square cheeks.
They have molars
and pre molars
for grinding
plants.
Horses live on a diet
of grass and
cereals.
