text: Indeed, the name mastodon comes from the Greek μαστός and οδούς, meaning "nipple tooth," reflecting the distinctive, nipple-like protrusions on the crowns, which would have been more conducive to browsing on trees, shrubs, and swamp plants than grazing on grasses, as with the mammoths and their flatter, ridged teeth (Dykens and Gillette).
