Fun fact:

Komodo dragons shed their teeth EVEN FATSER than dinosaurs… so they COULD be used as a MODERN bite stamp for clocking in at work …

> Perhaps the most surprising discovery was that the Komodo started to make new teeth in each tooth position every 40 days. This is why there were so many shed teeth in the Komodo dragon enclosure, and this is how new teeth very rapidly replace the old functional teeth. Other reptiles, including most theropod dinosaurs, usually took three months to make a replacement tooth, sometimes as long as a year.
