(#15) Penguin
- Spheniscidae
Penguins have what are essentially small teeth all over their beaks, throats, and cheeks. Since penguins mostly eat fish whole, the teeth help keep the prey from slipping away.
-
(#13) Spider
- Araneae
Every spider is a bit different, but they all have small mouths hidden under large, blunt appendages called chelicerae. If the odd proportions weren't creepy enough, those things also feature venomous fangs. The smaller parts right next to them act as tiny hands that manipulate food into the spider's mouth.
-
(#4) Payara
The payara, often referred to as a "vampire fish," is native to the Amazon. It has two large fangs that stick out from its lower jaw and can reach six inches in length. As you might guess, payaras are carnivorous fish, and use their fangs to hunt smaller fish.
-
(#9) Hippopotamus
- Hippopotamus amphibius
Hippopotami have enormous, deadly canine tusks inside their gaping mouths. Strangely enough, these tusks are used exclusively for fighting other hippos and animals, and have absolutely nothing to do with eating. Given that fact, it's advised to steer clear of the beasts in the wild.
-
(#3) Anglerfish
- Lophiiformes
Anglerfish live very deep in the ocean. They have what is essentially a "fishing rod" attached to their foreheads, which they use to lure in prey before they chomp down their enormous, terrifying jaws on a hypnotized victim.
-
(#7) Goose
Those sharp, serrated teeth-like protrusions on the goose's tongue and beak are called tomia. They help geese saw through grass and weeds. Yes, they're terrifying, but remember: birds are one of the closest living relatives to dinosaurs.

About This Tool
It is not a good thing to be swallowed alive by wild animals, perhaps it is the reason why the mouths of some animals look so scary. Few animals have a mouth that is as frightening as the mouth of a cruel white shark. However, these marine carnivores at the top of the food chain have some little-known competitors. Have you seen the inside of the leatherback turtle's mouth? Did you know that Paku Piranhas have the same teeth as humans?
The random tool shows 15 scary animal mouths that might cause nightmares after watching these pictures. If they want to survive in the harsh nature, the animals must continue to evolve, their mouths can be the most powerful weapon.
