What happens when a baboon’s teeth wear down?

Older baboons inevitably experience worn down teeth after years of breaking down tough vegetation, often mixed with gritty sand. Most baboons over ten years old will have flattened molars to some extent. They are able to adapt by adjusting their array of foods. Aside from species with teeth-replacement adaptations such as sharks, alligators and rodents, sadly all wild animals who use their teeth to process food will go through this natural ageing process.
