How many teeth do sharks have?

Sharks may have up to 3,000 teeth at one time. These teeth are modified placoid scales that have the same structure as a tooth, having an outer layer of enamel, dentine and a central pulp cavity.





Most sharks do not chew their food, but gulp it down whole it in large pieces. Their teeth are not able to chew food, but only to tear it into mouth-sized pieces. Some bottom dwellers crush the shell of their prey, but still do not thoroughly chew the food like we do.


do you know, Most sharks have 5 to 15 rows of teeth in each jaw. Unlike human teeth, shark teeth don%26#039;t have roots to hold them in place, so their teeth are easily broken off. A tooth usually lasts about a week before it falls out. When this happens, the tooth behind it moves up to replace it. A new tooth can be replaced in as little as 24 hours. Sharks keep replacing their teeth all their lives. As the shark grows, its new teeth keep pace and grow larger than the ones that are replaced.


and do u know how much sharks eat. i will tell you. A shark eats about 2 percent of its body weight per day -- slightly less than a human eats. Because most are cold-blooded, they don%26#039;t have to eat as much as a human eats. Some sharks can live for a year without eating, surviving on the oil stored in their livers.
