An animal with short teeth, especially a mammal whose molars have low crowns and high roots.
From Greek 'brachy-' meaning short and 'odont' meaning tooth, coined in paleontology to classify herbivorous mammals.
Sheep and cattle are brachydonts—their short teeth grow continuously throughout life, which is perfect for munching grass all day without wearing down to nothing!
