An elephant has how many set of teeth?
-
5
-
6
-
7
-
8
Correct Answer
A. 6Explanation
Elephants have six sets of teeth throughout their lifetime. As they grow, their teeth move forward in their jaw and new teeth replace the old ones. This process occurs six times, resulting in a total of six sets of teeth. The first set of teeth, called milk teeth, fall out at a young age and are replaced by larger and more durable teeth. Eventually, the last set of teeth wears out, and the elephant may struggle to eat properly, which can be a contributing factor to their decline in old age.Rate this question:
