Heterodontidae

/ˌhɛtərədɒnˈtaɪdiː/ noun

Definition

A family of sharks and rays characterized by having different types of teeth (crushing teeth and cutting teeth) for varied feeding strategies.

Etymology

From Greek hetero- and odon (tooth) combined with taxonomic suffix -idae, denoting a family classification.

Kelly Says

Heterodontidae sharks like the horn shark are living fossils—they've barely changed in 200 million years because their tooth design is so efficient; they even use their specialized grinding teeth to crush sea urchins!
