THE BENGAL TIGER'S TEETH
Like it's ancestor, the saber-toothed tiger, the Bengal tiger's teeth are vital to its survival. If it loses its canines (tearing teeth) due to injury or old age, it can no longer kill prey and will starve to death.
The saber-toothed tiger (below) had long canines which were used to stab its prey. Its jaw structure enabled it to kill with a powerful, downward bite.
