Sharks are constantly growing teeth so they will have a different number of teeth at any given time depending on the last time they ate..
When they bite into their prey some of their teeth will rip out of the sharks mouth and remain punctured in its targeted victim... Some sharks will shed as many as 50,000 teeth in their lifetime... In captive sharks biologist have found front row teeth in sharks last about 8 days before falling out...
This is why you will find shark teeth washed up on a beech...
How many teeth dose a adult Bull Shark have.?
5,362
Reply:They have tons of teeth, and they keep growing. Most sharks do this... they have rows that fall into place when they lose their old teeth.
Reply:Loads. It would be impossible to tell how many teeth Bull Sharks have because the number of teeth depends on the size and age of the shark. Most sharks have rows of teeth, the first two are used for ripping prey into bite sized bits (sharks rarely chew) and the other rows rotate, when one tooth in the first two rows falls out it is nearly immediately replaced with one from the back rows.
