7. The Venomous Snakes Who Store Poison In Their Fangs



Venomous snakes have hollow teeth, which allow for the storing and injection of venom into their prey. A poison gland feeds into the snake's fangs and provides venom at the point of attack, while smaller teeth on the snake's bottom jaw are only for latching onto the victim.
 
The fangs of a snake are either fixed or erectile, meaning that some snakes do not put their fangs out until they are ready to strike!

8. The Whales Who Have Hair Where Their Teeth Should Be



The guys over at How Stuff Works have made an excellent analogy that will serve us well in talking about the teeth of Baleen Whales. This set of “teeth” is actually more like a giant moustache inside of the whale's mouth. Also, like most pieces of facial hair, it gets food caught in it. This way, when the whales open their mouths and take in water, krill and other goodies are left behind for them to eat!

9. The Sheepshead Has Human-Like Teeth On The Roof Of Its Mouth



The Sheepshead is a common fish in North America and a target for many fishermen. What many people don't realize, however, is how strange their teeth are! These fish have human-like teeth, which is odd, but they also have a row of teeth on the roof of their mouths.
 
The teeth of this fish are relatively blunt, so they are used mainly for cracking open clams and oysters. These, along with crustaceans, are the main diet of the Sheepshead.

10. The Animal With Teeth That Grow Like Trees



Unfortunately, it's a little bit more difficult than you would think to look at a dolphin and guess its age. While the teeth are a very good set of indicators, you would need to take one out and cut it in half in order to estimate the age of the dolphin. This creature's teeth feature growth rings, much like those present in trees, that allow scientists to guess how old the animals are!
