Dental caries is the scientific term for tooth decay or cavities. It is caused by specific types of bacteria. They produce acid that destroys the tooth's enamel and the layer under it, the dentin.
A giraffe is an herbivore-albeit I've heard of them eating meat on occasion-it's rare that they do, and not their normal diet. RealFriends Â· 9 years ago. Thumbs up.
No. Mammals are divided into three infraclasses: monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals. A giraffe is a placental mammal. This means that the baby is born live, and that it is born developed enough that it will not have to immediately crawl onto the mother's nipple and attach itself. In fact, baby giraffes can walk seconds after being born.
