Animal Teeth      If you look in your mouth, you should find 3
different kinds of teeth - incisors for biting and cutting,
canines for tearing and piercing, and molars for chewing and
grinding.      Like you, some animals have several different
kinds of teeth. Others have only one kind. Others don't have any
teeth at all. Different types of food require different teeth
because food must be broken down into smaller pieces so it can
be digested. Animals' teeth give you clues about what they eat.
    These animals eat a variety of food, including meat and
plants. In some animals the canine teeth are not so prominent
and the back molars are more flat than jagged.       The most
noticeable feature that characterizes the teeth of insect eating
animals is the structure of the molars. They are squarish, with
sharp points that are excellent for tearing up the bodies of
insects.       Flesh eating animals have three kinds of teeth.
The incisors, located in the front of the mouth, are used for
biting and holding. Next
