Most marsupials have sharp teeth at the very front, whether they are herbivores (like wombats and koalas) or carnivores (like Tasmanian devils and quolls). Some then have grinding molars further back.
Kangaroos' teeth are different again. Kangaroos are grazing animals and they need strong teeth for chewing the grass they eat. The teeth of the kangaroo are continuously being worn down by the tough grasses they eat. Instead of continuously growing, once a kangaroo's front teeth are worn down completely, they fall out, and the back teeth move forwards to take the place of the worn front teeth. Kangaroos have four such pairs of chewing teeth.
