A 4th grader, Mark Henry, has the record for the worlds largest tooth.
An Ontario dentist had to pull the whopper of a chopper because it was interfering with the growth of Mark's other teeth. The Owen Sound Sun Times reports the monster tooth was nearly an inch long, so big the dentist calls it a horse tooth.
You might think such an impressive incisor would be worth at least a couple of bucks from the tooth fairy. But alas, Mark lost his tooth when he took it to school to show his speech therapist.
Canine teeth in carnivorous animals are adapted for grabbing, tearing, and holding prey. They are long, pointed, and sharp to pierce through flesh easily. Additionally, canine teeth in carnivores often have strong roots and are designed to withstand the forces of chewing and tearing meat.
because animals teeth are immune to germs
Animals that have broad and sharp teeth in the front, followed by broad flat teeth inside are likely herbivores. Some examples of such animals include cows, horses, and elephants. The sharp front teeth help to cut and tear vegetation, while the flat back teeth are used for grinding and chewing food.
Toothless animals are called edentates. These animals have evolved unique adaptations to compensate for the lack of teeth, such as specialized diets or unique feeding strategies. Examples of edentates include anteaters, sloths, and baleen whales.

Tigers have the longest canines, some large males have them nearly four inches long.
I do not know!! I am 9
22 mos. they have the longest of all land animals.
The giraffe has the longest tail of the land animals in the world. It is eight feet long. The blue whale has the longest tail of all the marine animals.
No, tigers do not have the longest canine teeth among animals. Although their canines are large and can grow up to about 3 inches in length, animals like the saber-toothed tiger had even longer canines. Additionally, certain species of whales, such as the narwhal, have canines that can grow to be over 9 feet long.
Saber toothed tigers, similar to modern cats, had two main types of teeth. The long, sharp teeth that they are famous for were their upper canines, although they had a smaller set of canines in their lower jaw as well. The other teeth in a saber toothed cat's mouth were molar and premolar teeth designed for ripping flesh off of their food. These teeth are caller carnassial teeth.
Rabbits, hares, mice, hamsters, and other animals with growing front teeth nibble down on rocks and their food to keep their teeth from growing out too long.

The "canines"
The top ten animals with the biggest teeth include the sperm whale, known for its massive teeth that can reach over 8 inches long, and the hippopotamus, which has large incisors that can grow up to 16 inches. Other notable examples are the orca, with formidable teeth up to 4 inches long, and the elephant, whose tusks can extend several feet. Additionally, the narwhal has a long, spiral tusk that is essentially an elongated tooth. Other animals with large teeth include the great white shark, walrus, and certain species of crocodiles.
For the same reason as humans. Teeth are essential for the mastication (chewing) stage of digestion. Teeth can also be used as a defence mechanism for many animals.
