Friends, there are various types of creatures living on our earth, which have different characteristics, be it humans, animals or birds - so the first thing that comes to mind is teeth. Teeth are necessary for chewing and digesting food in most living creatures. But do you know that there are creatures in the world that do not have teeth, let's know about them-

Birds

Birds do not have teeth. Instead, they are equipped with strong, specialized beaks that help them efficiently capture, break and swallow their food.

Turtle

Turtles do not have teeth, but still they eat food easily. They have a hard beak-like structure that allows them to bite and tear their food.

Whale

Many species of whales, especially baleen whales, do not have teeth. They feed by filtering small fish and plankton from large volumes of water using baleen plates.

Anteaters

Anteaters survive mainly on ants and termites. They do not have teeth and rely on their long, sticky tongues to catch and eat their prey.

Pangolins

Pangolins also do not have teeth. Like anteaters, they use their long, sticky tongues to eat ants and other insects.

Octopus

Octopuses also do not have teeth. However, they use a hard, parrot-like beak located in the center of their tentacles to bite and eat their prey.
