Why do humans have different teeth than animals?
As humans, our teeth are made to break down the meat and plants we eat as omnivores. For animals, their teeth are also based on what they eat, but the different diets of herbivores and carnivores cause their teeth to be different from ours.
Do animals and humans have the same teeth?
Different Animals Mean Different Teeth
All humans have the same kinds of teeth, whereas animal teeth can vary depending on the animal's classification (above) and its diet.
Why do animals have teeth?

Is there a fish with human teeth?
Meet the sheepshead fish, a common Atlantic coast swimmer with a very crunchy diet. Last week (Aug 3), anglers at Jennette's Pier in North Carolina pulled up something unexpected — and uncanny — from the Atlantic: a fish with human teeth. Yes, this fish — and its teeth — are real.

What is unique about human teeth?

What animal has 25000 teeth?
Snails: Even though their mouths are no larger than the head of a pin, they can have over 25,000 teeth over a lifetime – which are located on the tongue and continually lost and replaced like a shark!
Are human teeth herbivore?
Animals like rabbits, cows, and humans can easily move their lower jaw side to side, and most experts agree that humans have generalized herbivorous dentition that, if anything, is best suited for eating seeds.
Are milk teeth?
Deciduous teeth — also known as baby teeth, primary teeth, or milk teeth — are your first teeth. They start developing during the embryonic stage and start to erupt through the gums about 6 months after birth. All 20 of them are typically in by age 2½.
Is teeth a bone or not?
Even though teeth and bones seem very similar, they are actually different. Teeth are not bones. Yes, both are white in color and they do indeed store calcium, but that's where their similarities end.
What is each tooth called?
This is made up of four incisors, two canines (or cuspids), four premolars (or bicuspids), four molars and two wisdom teeth (also called third molars) in each jaw. If wisdom teeth have been removed there will be 28 teeth. The incisors are the middlemost four teeth on the upper and lower jaws.
