the function of those teeth is holding met and bones , when eating and also help to chew the food.
The largest true carnivore with carnassial teeth is the polar bear (Ursus maritimus). Carnassial teeth are specialized for shearing meat and polar bears primarily feed on seals, making them one of the top predators in the Arctic.
Carnassial teeth often cause puncture wounds when a cat bites a human.
They have meat eating teeth or carnassial teeth. The large Canines are used for killing their prey and tearin meat off the bone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigers has a section just for Hunting and Diet.
Mountain lions have 30 teeth - canines, carnassial, and incisiors. All of these are considered dangerously sharp, perfect for killing and eating their prey.
Carnivores typically have sharp, pointed teeth that are well-suited for tearing and slicing meat. These teeth are called carnassial teeth, and they are adapted for efficiently capturing and consuming their prey.
Cats have carnassial teeth, which are sharply pointed and ideal for ripping the muscle and fibers of prey animals. These are subdivided into incisors, canines, premolars and molars based upon root structure, crown structure and the location in the mouth.
Cheetahs have sharp, pointed teeth known as carnassial teeth that are well-adapted for slicing through flesh and tearing meat. They have long canines for gripping and killing prey, along with premolars and molars for chewing and breaking down food.
Altogether, lions have 30 teeth. Among them are:Four canine (fang tooth for biting) teeth are used to hold and puncture.Four carnassial (blade-like tooth for shearing flesh) teeth to cut through tough skin and meat.The rest of the teeth are conical, and designed for cutting and tearing.Their teeth are very sharp.lions have about 20 teeth
Lions obviously eat their food, which is exclusively meat, raw. They tear it off of the carcass using their carnassial teeth, and swallow each bite whole (like most carnivores, they do not chew).
no it had small teeth.
