Giant prehistoric salmon had tusk-like teeth for defence, building nests: study
- The Pacific salmon had tusk-like teeth that pointed sideways and were likely used for fighting, as indicated by a new analysis of fossils.
- The teeth of the prehistoric salmon resembled warthog tusks, projecting sideways instead of downward, as revealed by a study published in PLOS One.
- CT scans confirmed the teeth's lateral extension, debunking the original saber-toothed reconstruction and suggesting they were used for defense, competition, or nest digging.
