Some animals lack teeth due to their dietary adaptations and evolutionary paths. For instance, certain herbivores have evolved beaks or specialized mouthparts to efficiently process plant material, while others, like jellyfish, use stinging cells to capture prey without the need for teeth. Additionally, some aquatic animals, like certain species of fish, have evolved to filter feed or rely on other methods of obtaining food that do not require teeth. These adaptations allow them to thrive in their specific environments despite the absence of teeth.

Name all the animals that do not have teeth?

Yes. Invertebrates do not have teeth. Toads do not have teeth. Turtles do not have teeth. Whales do not have teeth. Modern day birds do not, either. Instead, birds have a crop and a gizzard. The crop is a muscular organ that grinds up food. The gizzard has digestive juices for the crunched up food. Sometimes, birds will swallow small stones in order to assist the crop in the grinding process. The bird is not the only animal with a crop and gizzard.
