The Teeth
-
The lower jaw of a piranha sticks out farther
than its upper jaw .
-
This makes the piranha's teeth fit together like
a trap .
-
Their razor powerful teeth can cause serious
injuries or death even to larger warm-blooded animals .
-
They use their teeth only to cut and bite , they
never chew their food .
-
Instead of chewing , they swallow it whole .
That way, they can eat very very quickly .
-
With so many piranhas eating during a feeding
frenzy, the food disappears quickly . So the faster a piranha can eat ,
the more food it gets!
