What kind of teeth does a Scalloped Hammerhead have?
Scalloped Hammerheads have moderate-sized teeth with overlapping roots and finely serrated blades. The upper teeth are broader than those in the lower jaw and their blades are slanted toward the jaw corners. The teeth are well suited to grasping prey that is small enough to swallow whole. However, if need be, the lower teeth act as forks to hold large prey securely while the upper teeth act as steak knives to gouge out bite-sized pieces.
