Why do sheep has grinding teeth?

Answer 1

Canines are used to cut food and are usually found in predatorial animals. Sheep have lots of incosors - your front 4 teeth bottom and top - to rip the grass they eat. The molars and pre-molars grind the grass to make it eadible. They also chew the cud

Answer 2

The dental formula for domestic sheep (Ovis aries) is 0.0.3.3/3.1.3.3, which means they have 3 upper premolare and 3 upper molars, and no upper incisors or canines. So yes, three "true" molars and three "false" molars.

Answer 3

Sheep have flat teeth as they are herbivores and as such require flat teeth for chewing and breaking down grass/plants while they are in its mouth, they don't have the sharper, pointed teeth found in humans and other animals that eat meat, as these are used to bite off sections of tough meat.

Answer 4

Canine teeth are used to tear into an animal's flesh. Since sheep are herbivores (plant-eaters), they do not need canine teeth.
