Man is a niammal and has incisors and canine. Rabbits are mammals but lack canines. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Man is omnivorous in his food habit. He eats plant and animal food. Therefore he has well developed incisors and canines. Rabbits are herbivorous in mode of nutrition. They need sharp incisors only. Canines or tearing teeth are hence absent in rabbits.
