    Shark teeth and jaws are different from human teeth and jaws.Shark teeth are formed from specialized skin tissue on the jaw cartilage. Teeth are arranged in rows and attached to the jaws by connective tissue. Usually only the front one or two rows are functional. The other teeth, in some cases up to 13 rows, are folded back against the inside of the jaw, where they develop.Shark jaws are made of cartilage, not bone. Teeth are not as permanent within their jaw as they are in our mouths. Sharks can lose up to 30 teeth per month as a result.Most animals have an upper jaw that is fixed to their skull, however sharks don’t. Instead, their upper jaw sits below their skull and can be detached when they attack their prey. This means that they can use their whole mouth to grab their prey. Most sharks sink their bottom teeth in first and then crash their upper jaw down.
