Suction causes novel tooth wear in marine mammals, with implications for feeding evolution in baleen whales

Felix G. G. Marx et al.

Summary: Teeth are important for most mammals to capture and process food. Unlike terrestrial mammals, marine mammals use suction to capture prey, which results in unique wear patterns on their teeth. The study identified two new types of tooth wear, glossowear and hydrowear, which provide insight into the feeding behavior and evolution of marine mammals.
