The dental formula of a lion is 3.1.3.1/3.1.2.1, which indicates the number and type of teeth in one half of the mouth. Specifically, it has 3 incisors, 1 canine, 3 premolars, and 1 molar on the upper jaw, and 3 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, and 1 molar on the lower jaw. This arrangement reflects their carnivorous diet, with well-developed canines for gripping and killing prey, and sharp premolars for shearing meat. Overall, lions have a total of 30 teeth.
