Since we really cant focus on our own teeth right now given that most dentist offices are closed for routine care, I thought it would be fun to re-post this blog about animals. Here are some facts about different animals I collected from various sites on the web. Just a little fun trivia for everyone to read. Enjoy!
- Beavers, Gophers, Rats, Mice and Hamsters teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. They must grind their teeth down to keep them at a reasonable length.
- A dolphin has only one set of teeth to last throughout it's lifetime.
- An Armadillo has 104 teeth.
- A Blue Whale is the largest mammal on earth but it has absolutely no teeth!
- A Cat's jaws cannot move sideways.
- Turtles and Tortoises are toothless.
- Rabbits are born with their permanent teeth.
- African Elephants have only 4 teeth.
- Mosquitoes have 47 teeth. (They drink blood, what's to chew, lol?)
- A snail has thousands of tiny teeth, yet it's mouth is smaller than the head of a pin!
