How many teeth does a black bear have?

Answer 1

The Polar Bear has 42 teeth in total. The canine teeth grasp the Polar Bear's prey and tear through the tough hides. The incisors shear off pieces of blubber and flesh so the premolars and molars can tear and chew. But Polar Bears, really swallow most of their food in large chunks rather than chewing it as your mother taught you. The Grizzly has 42 teeth as well. There are 12 incisors for shearing meat, and 16 premolars, and 10 molars for tearing and chewing. Plus 4 canines that help grasp whatever prey the Grizzly has caught. Even though the Grizzly eats both plant and animals, their tooth structure is similar to that of the Polar Bear. For more details, please see sites listed below.

Answer 2

Bear's have 42 teeth including four long canines and twelve incisors. The exception is that of the sloth bear, which has only 40 teeth. Sloth bears have two fewer teeth than bears of other species to create a gap in the front of their mouths through which they may suck in insects.

Answer 3

The dental structure of seven of the eight bear species is characterized by 42 teeth. The exception is that of the sloth bear, which has only 40 teeth. Sloth bears have two fewer teeth than bears of other species to create a gap in the front of their mouths through which they may suck in insects.
