--And growing up to an incredible 10 feet long, the narwhal's tooth easily wins Largest Tooth in the Animal Kingdom! The narwhal's “horn” is an elongated left canine tooth, and it is most commonly found in male narwhals.
Did you know that Hippopotamuses have the largest teeth of any land animal? Their front incisors can grow to be 1.2 feet in length, and their canines can get to be 1.5 feet!
Snails have more teeth than any animal.
This is TRUE. A snail's mouth is no larger than the head of a pin, but can have over 25,000 teeth (but these aren't like regular teeth, they are on its tongue).
While sharks certainly do have a lot of teeth and are continuously regrowing ones that fall out, the answer is actually catfish, with the toothiest species sporting a staggering 9,280 teeth.
Molars. Finally, we have the molars. Molars are our biggest teeth, with multiple roots and large, flat chewing surfaces.
Ask students to compare the size (length) of their canine teeth to those of lions and adult humans. Adult lion canines are about 10 centimeters long and adult human canines are a little more than 1.5 centimeters long.
We start with Tooth #1, a molar on the back right side of our mouths known as the upper right quadrant. Dentists and dental hygienists will count through to Tooth #16, located in the upper left quadrant.
No, it's a platypus! One of the most unique creatures on the planet, it is an egg-laying mammal with venom and no teeth.
Snails: Who would assume that this seemingly harmless gastropod has teeth made of the strongest biological material, even stronger than titanium? Additionally, they have about 20,000 teeth – which is more than any other animal – that line its tongues since snails are among those animals that don't have jaws.
Actually, all animals have just one stomach; it may be divided into parts that perform different digestive functions. Ruminants, those animals that "chew their cud" or burp and digest some more typically have 4 parts to their stomachs. There are no animals with 7 parts to their stomachs.
Babirusas are hogs that have two large canine teeth. These teeth can grow up to 8 inches long, sometimes growing right through the skin. Hippopotamus – Hippopotamuses have the largest teeth of any land animal.
Leech: The interior structure of a leech is divided into 32 different segments, each of which has its own brain.
Sperm whales have 20–26 pairs of cone-shaped teeth in their narrow lower jaw. Each tooth is 10 to 20 cm long and can weigh as much as one kilogram.
Sharks do not rely on two sets of teeth – they have an endless supply of teeth, with a dentition that regenerates constantly throughout life. In some sharks, a new set of teeth develops every two weeks! Our lab studies the factors that control the production of teeth in sharks and other vertebrates, like mammals.
Fun Facts. The sperm whale has the biggest brain of any animal species, weighing up to 20 pounds (7 to 9 kilograms).
Flatworms, nematodes, and cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals) do not have a circulatory system and thus do not have blood.
Yes, ants have teeth, as anyone who has ever stepped on an ant mound can attest. These specialized structures, technically called “mandibular teeth” because they are attached outside of their mouths, are made of a network of material that tightly binds individual atoms of zinc.
Spiders have no teeth and rely on the venom to liquefy their prey in order that their stomachs, known as sucking stomachs, can draw in the meal.
What dinosaur has 99999 teeth? Nigersaurus is a genus of rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived during the middle Cretaceous period, about 115 to 105 million years ago. It was discovered in the Elrhaz Formation in an area called Gadoufaoua, in the Republic of Niger.

Naming is in reverse alphabetical order around to K, which is designated to the lower second left molar. It is important to note that while numbering the primary teeth the tooth naming is assigned only in upper case following from A till T.
Behind the canines lie the bicuspids (or premolars). The bicuspids are #4, 5, 12, 13 (upper jaw) and #20, 21, 28, 29 (lower jaw). Bicuspids are a sort of "in-between tooth," with the properties of both the canine and molar teeth. These teeth transfer food from the canines to the molars for proper grinding.
What If You Have Wisdom Teeth? Adults won't have all 32 teeth if they had wisdom teeth removed. Because they are the farthest back on all four quadrants of your mouth, those tooth numbers would be 1 at the top right, 16 at the top left, 17 at the bottom left, and 32 at the bottom right.
