Reply to comment by gmnitsua in TIL that ruminants, such as cattle, sheep, and giraffes, do not have a top row of front teeth. They instead have a dental pad where gums meet directly to their bottom row of front teeth. by gmnitsua

They do often look like they've got underbites. Maybe this is why.

I just went looking at "cows chewing" videos on youtube and only saw lower teeth and upper lip. It looks like their upper lip is hiding their upper teeth and our brains just filled in the blank.

Mind blown.
