Marvelous Mammals
HERBIVORES are animals that eat only plants.
CARNIVORES are animals that eat only animals.
OMNIVORES are animals that eat both plants and animals.
We can usually tell what an animal eats by looking at its teeth!
Humans are Omnivores, so we have all different shaped teeth in our mouths.
Take a look at the diagram and think about all the different shapes of teeth
you can see.
Explain what you think each type of tooth is for eating!
