dental pad
The dental pad or browsing pad is a feature of ruminant dental anatomy that results from a lack of upper incisors and helps them gather large quantities of grass and other plant matter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Toothless cud chewers, To see ourselves as others see us... )〕 In cattle, the tongue is used to grasp food and pinch it off between the dental pad and the lower incisors. However, since they cannot bite grass off, they are inefficient at grazing more closely than from the ground.〔
