I WONDER - What's So Special About A Crocodile's Teeth? Me Pregunto - Qué Tienen De Especial Los Dientes De Un Cocodri

Crocodiles have a unique dental system where they are not particularly attached to their teeth. If a crocodile loses a tooth, it is quickly replaced with a new one. This replacement process occurs even if the teeth do not fall out due to hunting. Crocodile teeth are self-replacing every 3 to 6 months, ensuring they always have functional teeth.
