(#4) Payara
The payara, often referred to as a "vampire fish," is native to the Amazon. It has two large fangs that stick out from its lower jaw and can reach six inches in length. As you might guess, payaras are carnivorous fish, and use their fangs to hunt smaller fish.

(#11) Cookiecutter Shark
Cookiecutter sharks are aptly named: the wounds they leave on their victims are often "cookie shaped." Cookiecutter sharks can easily shed and digest their own teeth. They're also ambitious hunters - they'll hunt larger prey by taking many small bites over a long period of time.

(#1) Leatherback Sea Turtle
- Dermochelys coriacea
The mouths of leatherback sea turtles are filled with large (and odd looking) oral papillae, mostly made of cartilage. This turtle generally feeds on jellyfish, which are known to sting. The papillae help protect the turtle's mouth and throat as it swallows its prey.

(#8) Gelada
- Theropithecus gelada
Gelada baboons live in the high mountains of Ethiopia, and graze grass up to 90% of their days. But don't let that fact make you think they don't have some fearsome teeth. These baboons are known for their knockout fights, and when they get angry or threatened, they bear their terrifying mouths by flipping back their gums.

(#14) Pacu Fish
Pacu fish, bizarre creatures with human-like teeth, are cousins to piranhas. They are most frequently found in South America, though they have occasionally popped up in the United States as well. Their eerie teeth are used to grind down nuts and seeds that typically fall into the water from Amazonian vegetation.

(#2) Sea lamprey
- Petromyzon marinus
A sea lamprey is kind of like a deep-sea leech, but much more terrifying. Lampreys act as parasites to sharks and other large fish, attaching multiple rows of circular teeth and suckling from their prey.

About This Tool
It is not a good thing to be swallowed alive by wild animals, perhaps it is the reason why the mouths of some animals look so scary. Few animals have a mouth that is as frightening as the mouth of a cruel white shark. However, these marine carnivores at the top of the food chain have some little-known competitors. Have you seen the inside of the leatherback turtle's mouth? Did you know that Paku Piranhas have the same teeth as humans?
The random tool shows 15 scary animal mouths that might cause nightmares after watching these pictures. If they want to survive in the harsh nature, the animals must continue to evolve, their mouths can be the most powerful weapon.
