Excerpt from The Children's Picture-Book of Quadrupeds: And Other MammaliaThe teeth and feet are those parts which chiefly distinguish one family of animals from In the Flesh-eating animals the molar or grinding teeth have a cutting power, while in the Grass-eat ing animals the grinding character prevails through out the whole. In the Rodents, or Gnawing ani mals, the teeth project forward in a curve, meeting at an angle, while in the Elephant they take the form of large tusks. The Ant-eater has no teeth at all, while the Armadillo has ninety-six, and the Dolphin one hundred and fifty.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
