I would say the shark just because they have 7 rows of these teeth!!!

Sharks have the most number of teeth but i'd say that the piranhas have the sharpest teeth.

It's supposed to be able to bite through a steel knife.

That's something i've never heard of :lol:

...if they are able to do that then i guess they don't have the sharpest teeth only,but also the strongest :!:

The deffinition of sharp, as i know it, is that the angle formed in 2d by any longitudinal section on the tooth will be minimal. Pirania have wide teeth, so i voted big cats

The carnivorous piranha's teeth are razor sharp, and don't have the benefit of a huge jaw like the others.

This is why they attack in groups.

If they're able to do that, then there will be no boat on the amazon river surface.. :lol:

Is the structure of the teeth help?? because when we see the shark teeth, they are formed like a saw surfaced teeth. Is this structure helps them to penetrates their preys faster??
