Rodent Dentition: The Truth About Canines
Rodents do not have canines.
These animals are characterized by their continuously growing incisor teeth—the sharp front teeth used for gnawing. Canines, which are pointed teeth designed for tearing flesh, are simply absent in rodents. Because their incisors handle their primary feeding needs, there is no evolutionary requirement for canine teeth.
