Wolf teeth are small, peg-like horse teeth, which sit just in front of (or rostral to) the first cheek teeth of horses and other equids. They are vestigial first premolars , [ 1 ] and the first cheek tooth is referred to as the second premolar even when wolf teeth are not present.
Between 13 and 32% of horses, split equally between male and female, also have wolf teeth, which are not related to canine teeth, but are vestigial first premolars. Wolf teeth are more common on the upper jaw, and can present a problem for horses in work, as they can interfere with the bit.
Comparison of carnassial teeth of wolf and typical hyaenodontid and oxyaenid. Creodonts had two or three pairs of carnassial teeth, but only one pair performed the cutting function: either M1/m2 or M2/m3, depending on the family. [8] In Oxyaenidae, it is M1 and m2 that form the carnassials. Among the hyaenodontids it is M2 and m3.

The Iberian wolf Canis lupus signatus Cabrera 1907 [2] is classified as Canis lupus lupus by Mammal Species of the World.

The teeth of carnivorous dinosaurs, called ziphodont, were typically blade-like or cone-shaped, curved, with serrated edges. This dentition was adapted for grasping and cutting through flesh. In some cases, as observed in the railroad-spike-sized teeth of Tyrannosaurus rex , the teeth were designed to puncture and crush bone.
