^w^ Each shark species has teeth that are adapted to support its feeding habits.
^w^ Some sharks have serrated teeth that come together like a pair of scissors, some have spiked teeth to impale prey, and some use their teeth to crush.
^w^ A shark grows thousands of teeth in a lifetime. When a tooth is lost, another tooth quickly moves forward to take its place.
^w^ Shark teeth are not fixed in sockets like human teeth but lie in rows along the edge of the jaw. Replacement teeth slope towards the inside of the mouth, then become upright when they move forward into use.
