The golden lion tamarin is a tiny primate with a mighty bite! Their extra-long upper canines act like natural daggers to snap up insects and small reptiles mid-air, while their compact 32-tooth jaws feature specialized flat molars perfectly designed to mash fruit and scatter vital rainforest seeds.
Smart Smile Tip: Just as the golden lion tamarin needs specialized teeth to eat fruit, you can protect your teeth by incorporating crunchy fruits and vegetables into your diet. Along with brushing twice daily, a balanced diet keeps your smile bright, strong, and healthy.
