What is Fang?
A '''fang''' is a sharp [[tooth]] used for catching [[prey]] found on many animals, such as [[wolves]] and [[spider]]s. [[Spiders]], [[tarantula]]s, and [[venomous snake]]s have [[:wikt:hollow|hollow]] fangs. [[Venom (poison)|Venom]] [[gland]]s fill these hollow fangs with venom so that when these animals catch their prey with their fangs, they [[paralysis|paralyze]] the prey to make it easier to eat. The fangs on a snake can be folded under the skin like a [[cat]]'s claws. Spider and tarantula fangs are found outside of their mouth instead of inside it. {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Teeth]] [[Category:Animal anatomy]]
