9. Tongue-tied teeth- lizardfish

The lizardfish has a lot of teeth. So many in fact that it even has teeth around its tongue. That's because it doesn't like its prey to get away. When it's successful, the hundreds of needle-like teeth clamp down on even the slipperiest fish. Because the teeth are hinged they flatten as anything caught in them moves into the mouth or stand up if it tries to move out.
