Canine teeth are also dogteeth, fangs or (in the case of those of the upper jaw) eye teeth, are relatively long, pointed teeth.
Canine teeth are present in carnivores and omnivores. Their primary usage, especially in carnivores, is stab through layers of flesh and hold down struggling prey in order to tear it apart. They are occasionally used as weapons. In omnivores, the canine teeth are much shorter and their usage is more for slicing up meat.
