Did you know... Giraffes have 32 teeth just like humans?!
While they may have the same number of teeth as humans, our teeth do not look the same. Instead of the smooth enamel found on the teeth of humans and other mammals, giraffes have rough enamel on their teeth. And if you've ever wondered why you've never seen a buck-toothed giraffe, it's because they don't actually have upper front teeth (like in the cute picture above!) -- they only have lower front teeth! Luckily they have a 20 inch tongue to help them eat their food!
Happy Toothsday from Jacques Dentistry in Greenville, SC!
