Shark have up to 3,000 teeth at a time. Adaptations of shark teeth all depend on their size, shape, and the species to which each tooth belongs to. But in general, since sharks do not chew their food and the swallow it, the teeth help them grip onto their prey better and are also used for tearing apart their food better.
