Hammerhead Shark Teeth: Structure, Function & Sharpness

- They have a triangular shape with serrated edges, which helps them to grip and tear prey.

- The teeth are set in multiple rows, with the front row being the largest.

- When the shark bites its prey, the front teeth grip and hold the prey while the back teeth slice and tear it.

- The hammerhead shark's teeth are constantly being replaced, so they stay sharp even after extensive use.
