One set of tonsils, which conists of two tonsils (one on either side of the throat). Most people have five tonsils. These include a single pharyngeal tonsil, often referred to as the adenoid, located in the posterior wall of the upper part of the throat. A pair of palatine tonsils is found at the back of the mouth; a pair of lingual tonsils is located at the base of the tongue.
Yes!!! they have palatine tonsils in the oropharynx located in the sides of their throat. See related link below.
A set includes two. Therefore, there are two tonsils.
The number of tonsils in the human body depends on what location you are asking about, but in the mouth and throat there are 4 sets; the pharyngeal tonsils, tubal tonsils, palatine tonsils, and lingual tonsils. If you are talking about other structures that are named tonsils, there are many others such as the cerebellar tonsils.

Yes, grizzly bears do have tonsils. Like many mammals, they possess tonsils as part of their immune system, which helps in fighting infections and diseases. The tonsils are located in the throat and play a role in the bear's overall health, similar to their function in humans and other animals.
Yes, dogs can sometimes require tonsil removal, a procedure known as tonsillectomy. This may be necessary if they have chronic tonsillitis, recurrent infections, or tumors affecting the tonsils. Symptoms that might indicate a problem include difficulty swallowing, excessive drooling, or persistent bad breath. However, tonsil removal is not common in dogs and is typically considered only when other treatments have failed.
Palatine tonsils and adenoids are NOT synonymous. Palatine tonsils, sometimes called faucial tonsils, are found at the back of the throat. Adenoids are the pharyngeal tonsils, located in the back of the nasal cavity.
