Do crocodiles have teeth?

Yes, crocodiles do have teeth. They have an average of 66 sharp teeth and has a biting power up to 3000 lbs. Crocodiles have short legs and are carnivores, thus needing extreme biting power and a sharp set of teeth to catch and eat their prey. When a tooth sheds, a healthy crocodile will grow out a new tooth.

Growing out new teeth is very important in a crocodile’s life as it can live up to 50 years. There is an estimate that in a crocodile’s lifetime, it will grow up to 3000 teeth. It would be very difficult for a crocodile if their teeth grow just like of a human as they will not live long especially in the wild.

Do crodiles have teeth? Yes, indeed, and how! Depending on the species, crocodiles have around 40 teeth. Their fourth tooth is particularly large and strong, and juts out of their mouths. There are certain birds that helpfully clean the crocodile's teeth, not a job that many would enjoy!

Crocodiles are the largest of our reptiles and have been on the earth millions of years, so forming a link with reptile-like dinosaurs. Although they eat plants, they are carnivorous (meat-eating) predators that depend on their teeth for eating their prey. This may be water-fowl or mammals. So look out when you're near one of these beauties!
