Lions get two sets of teeth, just like humans. One smaller when they're young and small, which is replaced with a second, bigger set when they've grown enough to be able to fit them.
Altogether, lions have 30 teeth. Among them are:
- Four canine (fang tooth for biting) teeth are used to hold and puncture.
- Four carnassial (blade-like tooth for shearing flesh) teeth to cut through tough skin and meat.
The rest of the teeth are conical, and designed for cutting and tearing.
Their teeth are very sharp.
