Molars are primarily used for grinding food. They are flat and located in the back of the mouth. They are for eating plant based material, so the animals in the niche eat plants, they are primarily herbivores.
Canines on the other hand, are the sharp pointy teeth located on the front side of the mouth. They are used for tearing flesh and meat. Animals such as canines, felines, and reptiles have these because they are primarily carnivores.
