Dolphins are a very lovely mammal. From the point of view of feeding habits, they are carnivorous, mainly eating a variety of animals. When dolphins eat, they usually swallow directly instead of chewing. When dolphins live in the sea and eat other small animals, they will swallow some of the sea water into their stomach, which is also necessary for dolphins, just like other animals need water. In this way, they can eat and drink water together. This water is very important to their bodies and can maintain their internal and external balance.
We can often see dolphins living in aquariums. At this time, we can observe the way they eat. They may also swallow fish and shrimp directly without chewing.
As mentioned above, dolphins will swallow directly when eating, and will not use chewing methods. Therefore, the role of teeth in their feeding is not obvious. However, this does not mean that dolphin teeth are useless. Dolphins belong to a suborder of toothed whales, they have a lot of teeth, in the course of evolution have evolved teeth, this structure is naturally useful. In fact, teeth play an important role in their hunting process, so that they can catch prey and keep them motionless. After catching them, dolphins will swallow their prey, and may also swallow part of the sea water into their stomach.
