What is a common characteristic of animals with no teeth?

Animals with no teeth often share a common characteristic of belonging to specific groups, such as birds or amphibians. Birds, for instance, do not have teeth but are adapted to consume a variety of foods through beaks that are suited to their diets. Similarly, some amphibians may lack teeth or have very reduced forms but still manage to capture and consume their prey effectively.

The correct choice highlights the idea that these animals have evolved different anatomical structures and feeding strategies that do not rely on teeth. Options that suggest all animals without teeth are mammals or that they are exclusively carnivorous or herbivorous do not accurately reflect the diversity of species that can exist teeth-free. For example, many mammals are characterized by having teeth, and some animals without teeth may consume both plants and animals depending on their adaptations and ecological niches. Understanding the biological and ecological diversity is crucial in identifying animal characteristics accurately.
