have you ever seen an animal with such deadly mouth or terrifying teeth like these teeth are already weird as it is think about it they're the only part of your skeleton which is exposed what's weirder is that some animals have way too many of them like the great white sharks then there are some that have fake teeth and look like a made up creature themselves too yes we're talking about the promo cotuthis sulcus squid some animals don't even have jaws and manage to have teeth like the terrifying lampreys here are 25 deadliest animal mouths that
will make you hide under your blanket lamprey [Music] the lamprey just proved to us that you need a jaw to be devilishly terrifying these creatures don't have a jaw at all or even a skull but they do have a mouth correct they have a thorny suction cup like mouth that the fish uses like a funnel since this species is a parasitic fish it sucks on its host body and starts sucking out the blood with its teeth they're so determined to suck the life out of their host that their victim rarely ever survives there even have
been some cases of this fish attacking athletes luckily that's not a common occurrence scientists find them more fascinating since they're one of the first backbone creatures to ever evolve say hello to your ancestors you see that can you get it yeah that thing is sucking right on the goblin shark at first glance there's no doubt that the goblin shark looks like a distant relative of the blobfish because of how ugly it is what's worse is on the inside of its mouth it has tiny sharp ale-like teeth and a snout that looks like a sword to
make matters worse you should know that it has jaws that can protrude forward this means they can literally detach their jaw and fling it forward to catch their prey this makes their feeding method highly efficient too their slingshot feeding technique is done at 10 feet per second the fastest movement for this kind of fish yikes better stay 20 feet away from this beast [Music] mandrill if you put on some clown makeup on a monkey you would get a man drill that's not the only noticeable thing about them how could we miss their two inches long
teeth luckily their teeth are just for show and they rarely ever use them against people these omnivores put their teeth on display as a sort of friendly gesture much like smiling leatherback sea turtle [Music] who would have thought these tiny little crawlers could end up on this list whatever you do don't look at it when it's yawning why well that's because it has spikes from its mouth all the way to its gut these spikes are called papillae and the reason these things exist because turtles have a special taste for jellyfish and any other soft-boiled invertebrates
with no bones because of that they don't need hard teeth so the rubber-like protrusions work just fine considering the jellyfish have almost zero calories these turtles need to eat about 73 of their body weight every day maybe these rubber spikes aren't that bad then hippo [Music] hippos have big mouths we know that but their specialty doesn't lie with what sort of teeth they hide inside in fact it's about the sheer power of their bite these animals can open their mouth a full 180 degrees when they yawn so just imagine what they use it for usually
they use their yawns to intimidate others well that's almost always successful with just one bite they can exert an eighteen hundred pound force per square inch making it one of the strongest bites in the animal kingdom but we have some good news for you hippos or herbivores so they won't come running to bite you hi again camel camels have a reputation to maintain since they're the kings of the desert and even though we only know them from their drinking habits let's talk more about their feeding habits first of all camels spit when they're threatened which
is downright disrespectful that's not all when they're in danger their teeth are strong enough to crush wood if that wasn't enough they have tiny papillae covering their whole mouth pretty gross but not grosser than their old man teeth ew goose [Music] without even having to open their mouth geese can scare humans it's not like their honking noises is any inviting and much like all birds they don't have teeth they have tomia which are made of cartilage and grow on the tongue and beak even though these little beasts don't attack humans their bites are very painful
what's worse is their punch which is strong enough to break your nose garial crocs and alligators are scary enough but one weird hybrid of them is the gharial which is much scarier than you realize although it's long snout looks sort of funny it's not as funny when you realize it has about 106 to 110 interlocking razor sharp teeth this helps them catch any fish that might slip away even though they have a highly specialized snout it doesn't mean they don't bite humans sometimes they've even been seen feeding on corpses nearby who's to say where they
got the corpses from [Music] tiger if you've ever seen a tiger or even just a picture of it you're probably very well aware of its apex predator features one of them is their mouth more specifically their mouth these tigers have needle-like barbs on their tongue that they use to strip fur feathers and meat from their prey if you have a cat you might have noticed the same barbs but smaller on your pets the truth is this feature of nature has been so successful that even humans made grooming products inspired by it [Music] paku fish what
would you expect a piranha's relative to look like you at least expect their long sharp teeth right well the paku fish is here to disappoint you utterly however don't look away just yet this south american looks like it's stole teeth from us much like humans the paku fish are omnivores even though much of their diet is herbivorous the main use of their teeth is to crack shells and fruits and nuts fall into the water so nothing gory these fish aren't really aggressive and people actually keep them as pets vampire fish the name vampire fish paints
a picture without even needing to explain anything the piara or the vampire fish is usually found in the amazon what a shocker but what's hardcore about them is that their diet consists of piranhas the flesh-eating fish no one goes near so this ball of teeth crunches on another ball of teeth however these have fang-like teeth that can grow up to six inches but they don't stick as they already have a holster built in the front of their face to keep them safe and protected luckily they don't go after anything too big than themselves so that
we might be safe for now black mamba most animals have sharp teeth and that's about it nothing more to it however the black mambas have a particularly goth oral cavity first off their mouths are jet black even their teeth but their teeth are more like hollow fangs that are full of venom just one bite in their teeth can shoot venom into your system killing you in a few minutes this venom actually shuts down the person's nervous system and even paralyzes them too if you see a black tongue just take a u-turn from there great white
shark there's a reason why there are numerous movies about shark attacks and that reason is their 300 teeth they have about 300 serrated triangular teeth in several rows and they have a great sense of smell sometimes a shark can have up to 3 000 teeth the front teeth are usually the biggest and are used for biting while the other sets can be smaller and less sharp in a whole lifetime a shark can grow up to 20 000 teeth and here we are stuck with 36 teeth that you can't replace not fair sea urchin what do
you think would be the condition of our teeth if we ate rocks well for one we wouldn't have any enamel at all but sea urchins that eat nothing but rocks actually the algae that grows on the rocks they scrape down any green stuff they can find and this scraping can cause their teeth to wear down but their teeth are set in a structure called aristotle's lantern which self sharpens and can easily regrow so eating a rock or two isn't too bad for them basking shark [Music] out of the biggest mouths this shark wins the game
its huge mouth consists of numerous gill rigs that it uses for filter feeding its mouth actually extends past its small eyes as for the teeth it has hundreds of small hooked teeth all over its mouth no matter how big their mouths are they still can't eat humans so the only shark we should be afraid of is the great white shark sarcastic french head you've seen an umbrella right well put some teeth on it and you get this sarcastic french head this fish doesn't have terribly sharp teeth or anything but they do have gaping fluorescent teeth
that can open up like a huge umbrella these jaws span out when they open their mouths fully and they mostly do that to intimidate other fish since they're very territorial about their burrows and hulls pelicans [Music] pelicans have unusually long and large beaks but what's inside is a whole other story first of all at the end of their beaks tip they have a little hook and inside they don't have good teeth they're just tiny little spikes that aren't even sharp but feel like more of an exfoliating brush so in the end it's their beak that
you should be scared of their lower beak is quite stretchy and translucent so it'll line up if you shine some light through it [Music] it's unfortunate that fish can't get braces because this one can't even close its mouth because of how big they are the common fangtooth fish has the biggest teeth proportionate to its body size in the whole underwater kingdom that's not all they're insanely sharp long and pointed just enough to catch prey of any size this small fish's teeth can grow up to be six inches making it possible for this small fish to
make other bigger fish pee their pants hagfish the hagfish is one of the weirdest creatures out there how many other fish do we know that use slime as a self-defense mechanism maybe a few diy youtubers but they're not fish scientists refer to the hagfish's face as two pairs of tooth-like rasps on the top of a tongue-like projection and if that didn't remind you of the creature from alien the following fact will the hag fish doesn't even need a mouth it literally just absorbs nutrition from its skin thanks to its numerous pores it's not like the
hagfish even eats a five-course meal it just likes to munch on dead stuff anything decaying it finds it gobbles up the teeth are just there for the horror factor penguins we've all seen happy feet and adored their cute little smiles but what you didn't know was that happy feet were not fully accurate when it came to the penguin anatomy especially their mouths when you open their beaks there's nothing but a red carpet of teeth teeth on their cheeks tongue and down to their gut you want to know why well it's because penguins swallow their food
completely alive and wriggling so they need to keep them alive fish down to maximize their pain and fuel our nightmares too at the same time their spiny mouths actually help them keep their food down cookie cutter shark [Music] let's be honest we've had enough of sharks we've all seen jaws enough times but those movies only show you the great white sharks not tiny cookie cutter sharks these creatures which are barely two feet long show up in deep waters only at night they might be tiny but their teeth size is the biggest as compared to other
shark's size and their teeth size as the name suggests they have cookie cutter edge teeth with ragged edges that can rip circular chunks out of whatever they can meet moreover they even attack in a sort of hit-and-run way so they're like the flash but with a lot of teeth the crab eater seal [Music] you've seen ragged teeth tiny needle-like teeth little papillae and so much more but we're going to show you something that looks like it's from a mythical story here is the crab eater seal and their wacky van gogh teeth you might not get
a chance to see these teeth up close unless you're a vet in antarctica the most eye-catching quality about their pearly whites is that they have extra spines stemming from their original teeth like little gears you can imagine what sort of shape their bites would leave but you don't need to worry about that since they only eat krill they get a big gulp of water and then let the gaps in their teeth filter out the krill from the water yum cold cold backwash krill soup anyone horse you might have seen horses laughing out loud and showing
their teeth well those are mostly memes pay attention to what you're doing around horses to reduce the risk of being bitten do not encourage playful behaviors that could lead to bites because they're known to even bite animals they perceive as danger the adult horse has up to 44 permanent teeth because evolution has designed the horse's skull to accommodate greater quantities of high fibrous forage foods the promo catuthis sulcus squid we swear we're not just making up stuff at this point no matter how fake these creatures look what can we say mother nature went on a
little bit of a spiral this specimen called the promo catoothis sulcus squid or the squid with teeth is just one inch long but that doesn't mean it won't creep the pants off of you its mouth is at the bottom of its body and they look like they have human teeth in a circular mouth well none of that is true those aren't even teeth they're just folded lips with their upper and lower portions visible what's weirder is that it has a small razor-sharp beak at the deep end of its mouth to chew down its food jaguar
[Music] lions may be the kings of the jungle but jaguars are the ultimate kings when it comes to having the strongest bite force among wild cats unlike other wild cats they don't usually go for the throats of their prey instead they go for the head this is because their mouths are made up of powerful jaws and teeth that are strong enough to puncture the skull of their prey crack open the shells of turtles and even the thick skin of animals like caimans woodpecker a woodpecker's mouth may not be terrifying in the eyes of a human
being but we can tell for a fact that it is every bug's worst nightmare they may be toothless but their tongue makes up for it a woodpecker's tongue resembles a gapping hook but that's not all the tongue is way too long for such a small bird in fact it's up to three times the length of its beak it's so long that once the woodpecker shuts its mouth the tongue is wrapped around the skull behind the eyeball and back into the nostrils yes it's that long but it's not the length of the tongue that makes it
deadly it's the tip of the tongue the tip of the tongue is sharp and closely resembles a spearhead this helps the woodpecker to stab bugs and pin them in trees with no chance of escape spotted hyena [Music] there must be a reason as to why hyenas make one of the best cleanup crews in the savannah and no it's not because of the misconception that they lack good hunting skills actually when a spotted hyena hunts down its prey it's no longer a laughing matter no pun intended a hyena mouth is capable of instantly puncturing soft tissues
and internal organs spotted hyenas are equipped with strong jaws and teeth that can easily shred meat and crush bones unlike you and i the spotted hyena doesn't need to boil bones for hours to get to the bone marrow one bite is enough brazilian wandering spider it's not always the size of the teeth or the strength of the jaw that make an animal's mouth deadly sometimes it's just because the animal's mouth contains venom such is the brazilian wandering spider this fuzzy arachnid boasts of having the most active neurotoxic venom among spiders this is because the brazilian
wandering spider venom is capable of causing paralysis breathing difficulties as well as destroying skin cells or worse stopping the heart so be wary of those small mouths too [Music] saltwater crocodiles [Music] saltwater crocodiles hold the title of the second most powerful bite force in the world that in itself is simply why their mouths are among the deadliest saltwater crocodiles would not be able to successfully accomplish sneak attacks with so much ease were it not for their powerful jaw muscles the muscles responsible for the closing of the jaw do most of the work then their 40
to 60 large conical sharp teeth pick where the muscles left alright that's a wrap on some of the weirdest and deadliest animal mouths you'll ever encounter which one of these animal mouths made you pee your pants the most let us know in the comments down below don't forget to like the video subscribe to forevergreen and we'll see you in the next one [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so
