Carnivores have large, sharp teeth for biting through prey and strong jaws, as they eat meat. Herbivores have flat, blunt teeth for grinding tough leaves and tearing plants from trees, like ferns, cycads, horsetails, and conifers, as they are plant-eaters. The document contrasts the teeth of carnivores and herbivores and what each type of teeth is used for in eating different foods.
