Animal teeth!

Animal teeth!

Did you know?

  • Snails have 14,000 teeth!  (the most of any animal!)
  • You can tell a dolphin's age by its teeth! Like trees, they have rings inside their teeth to indicate their age
  • Giraffes have no upper front teeth!  They use their lips to get leaves from trees and use their back teeth to chew.
  • Rabbits, squirrels and rodents' teeth keep growing!  Chewing on hard things grind them down to keep them manageable.
  • Blue whales have no teeth!  They eat small krill and filter other small organisms from the water.

Who would have thought animal teeth could be so interesting!
