Fact of the Day: Crocodile Teeth

When crocodiles lose their second set of teeth, they don't remain toothless forever like humans. They come back quickly, and this process can happen hundreds of times for every spot for a tooth. This is also a trait for alligators too.

    Why don't you put up how crocodiles kill their prey and then what they do with what they don't eat immediately.
    Now that will turn some stomachs.

    Do they grow them back or there's a few hundred in there waiting to sprout? !

    Nature has given them this feature to survive, and they've been around an amazingly long time.

    Well that makes sense since they use their teeth so much and they can be ripped right out while taking down prey.

    Yet another interesting fact I didn't know about. How about that! Their teeth must decay more often than ours,( which is not surprising) and nature has a way of compensating for this.
