The shark is a kind of sea creature that we are familiar with, and it is also a kind of very fierce fish. Sharks are near the top of the ocean food chain, and many animals in the ocean become their food. Shark teeth are very sharp, like sharp daggers, but also has a serrated edge, is an important tool for their prey and food.
1. Improve the efficiency of predation: The teeth of sharks are sharp, which is the result of their evolution in the long process of survival. The first is to improve their efficiency of predation. When sharks are hunting, they may use the method of ambush from bottom to top, first seriously injuring the prey, and then wait for it to bleed to death before enjoying the food. In this process of predation, sharp teeth are more likely to create open wounds, so that the area of blood loss will be larger, so that prey will soon bleed to death, predation efficiency is very high.
2. Increase prey species: Sharks are a very large group of prey animals. In the ocean, they are near the top of the food chain. They also have a wide range of diets, including fish, seabirds and whales. Sometimes, sharks can't swallow a whole prey in their stomach, so they have to use their sharp teeth to cut the prey. Sharp teeth can increase their prey species, so that they can not only swallow smaller prey.
3. Convenient feeding: In addition to predation, teeth also play a very important role in the feeding process of sharks. Sometimes shark prey can be difficult to break, if the shark's teeth are round or square, then they will be very inconvenient to eat, it is not easy to quickly break the meat of prey and then swallow into the stomach. In a word, the sharp teeth of sharks are the tools for them to hunt and eat, and play a very important role in their life activities.
