Lions have long curved canine teeth that serve several essential functions. These powerful teeth are primarily used for gripping and holding onto prey, enabling lions to deliver fatal bites to larger animals. The curvature helps in piercing through tough hides and muscle, making it easier to consume their meat. Additionally, these canines play a role in social interactions and displays of dominance within the pride.
