foraging/diet type	teeth	tongue	stomach	intestines	cecum
Insectivory	numerous, spiky, incisors procumbent Example: mole Example: shrew	--	simple	short	mostly lacking
Myrmecophagy	absent or reduced in numbers, peg-like Example: tamandua anteater	extremely long	simple, often roughened	short	small or lacking
Terrestrial carnivory	sharp incisors; long, conical canines; often carnassial cheek teeth; may have crushing molars Example: dog	--	simple	short	small
Aquatic carnivory	homodont, spiky, numerous Example: common dolphin	--	simple or multichambered (cetaceans only)	variable	small or absent
Sanguinivory	very sharp upper incisors; reduced cheek teeth Example: vampire bat	grooved	tubular, highly extensible	long	small or lacking
