Question

Why does a snake not have tearing or chewing teeth?

Answer 1

the body of a snake is designed in such a way so that they can engulf their food without any chewing, tearing or grinding.

They can directly engulf whole living organism at once so they don't possess any kind of tearing or chewing teeth.

Answer 2

Hey there,

Snakes do not have any tearing or chewing teeth because their capturing and swallowing prey process does not require any.

They use their elongated body to capture the prey or use their poison spitting teeth to kill the prey without suffocating them.

All the snake does it swallow it whole. The digestive enzymes in its body are so string that they can break down the prey easily and can spend a few days without the need to eat anything.

Thanks for asking
