Did you know that there is a fish with teeth in its throat? The Atlantic wolfish has 4 to 6 large, conical teeth located on both the upper and lower jaws. Behind those front teeth on the upper jaw are rows of crushing teeth, some of which are molars. Now you might be wondering "why so many teeth?" These guys feed primarily on hard shelled mollusks, crustaceans, and echinoderms. In fact, they help keep crab and urchin populations in check. Oh! Did I mention that they can grow to 5 feet long? Not to worry. They don't attack unless provoked.
