Fangs, a metaphor for a ferocious appearance. Types of Mammalian Teeth.

Tusks are very strong, rootless, continuously growing teeth that grow out of the maxilla or mandible of some mammals. These teeth extend far beyond the jaws of these animals.

Some animals have incisors, and some have canines. There is no definite anatomical definition of tusks. Different animals have very different tusks. Especially in male animals, tusks can often be used to achieve status in the group. They can also be used to ward off predators.

The teeth of mammals are differentiated

Carnivores have well-developed canine teeth, but when eating, they do not use the canine teeth. Instead, they turn their heads sideways and use the scissors behind the canine teeth. The sharp carnal teeth (specialized molars, also called split teeth) cut the food into small pieces before swallowing it. Canine teeth are mainly used as weapons to kill prey and defeat enemies.

The most distinctive feature of herbivore teeth is the molars, which have chewing surfaces suitable for grinding coarse fibers. Some herbivores have reduced or missing canine teeth. Some herbivores also have very developed canines, such as gorillas, langurs, etc. Mainly used as a self-defense weapon.
