A Tigers jaw usually contains 30 teeth. The Tiger is carnivorous and therefore its teeth are well adapted to tearing meat and puncturing skin. There are three types of teeth in a Tigers mouth. Canines – These are around 2.5 to 3 inches and used primarily for administering a fatal bite to prey. These are the largest teeth of any big cat in the world. Incisors – These teeth are very small and very sharp, and are used for hanging on to prey, tearing meat and ********* bones. They are also frequently used for slicing through tough hides when the canines are not sharp enough. Premolars and molars – Teeth used for tearing and chewing.
