The African wild dog's teeth are specialized for its carnivorous diet and hunting behavior. They have sharp, interlocking teeth designed for tearing flesh and slicing through tough skin and muscle. Their long canine teeth are used for delivering killing bites to their prey quickly and efficiently. The structure and arrangement of their teeth allow them to effectively capture and consume their prey, contributing to their success as skilled hunters in the wild.

How do teeth chew stuff?

If you have all of your teeth, at the front of your mouth (top and bottom) are the "incisors" (think of "Scissors"). They "cut up" our food because those teeth are shaped like chisels. By the side of those you have "canine" teeth (think of dogs' teeth; dogs are canines). These teeth are like fangs and are more pointed so that you can "tear up" your food. Further back are the "molars" and they have a larger flatter area where the top molars and bottom molars can grind food between them. That last part is the "chewing" process.
