The lion, one of the fiercest of carnivores, has 30 teeth. These include four large pointed teeth called canines. Instead of molars, they have four "carnassials," which work like scissors for cutting food. The rest of their teeth are conical shaped. Lions don't really chew their food because their jaw can't move from side to side. The lion cub's milk (baby) teeth appear about three weeks after birth.

By the way, the plant dandelion was named from the French, "dent de lion," meaning teeth of the lion. The dandelion was so named because the jagged leaf of the plant resembles a lion's teeth.
