Plural of acrodont; animals (usually reptiles like iguanas and some snakes) that possess acrodont teeth with tip attachment rather than socketed roots.
From 'acrodont' pluralized with '-s'. Used in zoological classification and paleontological descriptions of tooth-bearing creatures.
Acrodonts include some surprising animals—your pet iguana is one—and their teeth never stop being replaced throughout life, which is why they eventually wear down and can become malnourished.
