We are often led to believe that such and such a fossil animal must have eaten a certain type of diet because 'we know from the shape of its jaws and teeth'. However, the examples here suggest that it is not possible to be dogmatic about this. It is obviously relevant to discussion of what various animals were eating before the Fall, and how this may have altered afterwards, as the 'dracula' article (p. 32) explores for vampire bats. The Bible indicates that animals were not fighting and eating each other before the sin of Adam. We see here that teeth are, of themselves, no reason to insist that an animal may not be (or once have been) a plant eater. For a fuller discussion, see The Answers Book .
