In the TV series "love apartment", there is such a plot: the host asked Zeng Xiaoxian, the animal with the most teeth in the world, Zeng Xiaoxian answered snails, and the result was right. Speaking of the most, we should also be curious about the animals with the least teeth in the world! Next, Xiaobian will introduce it in detail. 1、 Pangolin, the animal with the least teeth in the world
In fact, there are many animals without teeth in the world. They can be said to have the least teeth in the world. The reason why it is called pangolin here is that it is very special, not only cute, but also curious about the predation process. Next, I'll briefly introduce pangolin to you.
1. Introduction to pangolin
Pangolin, also known as dace carp, is a toothless animal. They cave in wet fields and mixed tree woodlands. They sleep in the cave during the day and climb out of the cave at night to look for food. This animal is found all over the world, but in China, it is widely distributed in the provinces south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
2. Pangolin food
As the world's least toothed animal, pangolin's food is very small, mainly eating insects such as termites. As soon as it found the termite nest, it carefully dug a hole in the nest with strong and sharp hooks and claws, inserted it into the nest hole with a sharp kiss, stretched out its greasy long tongue, and quickly licked the ant colony. It looks very cute!
3. Stones instead of teeth
Although the pangolin does not have a tooth on the upper and lower jaw, and the whole skull is smooth like a conical duck egg, it also has other things to replace the teeth. It is understood that several small stones from the mouth will remain in the pangolin's stomach, which can grind food instead of the teeth.
Summary: Xiaobian introduced the animals with the least teeth in the world. In fact, there are many other animals besides pangolins, such as earthworms, butterflies, centipedes, ants, leeches, etc. I won't introduce them one by one here.
