Wombat: Heterodont, elodont (entire dentition); the only marsupial in this category. All teeth are aradicular hypsodont [2].
Bunodont: Dentition that has low crowns (roots are relatively long compared to the crowns), with prominent conical cusps on posterior teeth (e.g. pigs, bears, and browsing herbivores).
Carnivora, Pinnepedia: Walrus (post canines).
Artiodactyla, Hippopotamidae: Hippopotamus molars.
Artiodactyla, Bovidae: Buffalo, cattle, spiral‐horned antelopes, browsing antelopes, grazing antelopes, horse‐like antelopes, Gazelles and dwarf antelopes, sheep.
Edentata: Sloths.
Bunodont and Brachydont:
Artiodactyla, suidae: Pigs (Figures 4.12 and 4.13).
Giant panda

Brachydont: Browzers. Crowns shorter than roots and suffer relatively little occlusal wear, with roots that, at dental maturity, are longer than the crowns; not ever‐growing. Usually omnivores, carnivores:
Carnivora, Canidae, Felidae, Ursidae, Pongidae, Artiodactyla, Cervidae: Non‐grazing herbivores, aka browzers, e.g. tapir, deer, giraffe (see Figures 4.14 and 4.15).
Rodentia: Squirrels and beavers, old and new world rats and mice, kangaroo rat, porcupines.

Hypsodont: Grazers. High crowns, longer than the roots, forever growing, whose anatomical crowns shorten through occlusal attrition with age (e.g. Equidae, Elephant molars). (Figures 4.22–4.28).
Artiodactyla: Pronghorn antelopes
Perissodactyla: Horses, zebras.
Proboscidea: African and Asian elephant ‐ heterodont,
