Fangology is the study of fangs, which are specialized teeth found in various animals, particularly in reptiles and mammals. These elongated teeth serve different purposes, such as capturing prey, defense, or even mating displays. Fangology explores the structure, function, and evolutionary significance of fangs across species, including snakes, vampires, and carnivorous mammals. Researchers in fangology analyze how fangs have adapted to different environments and hunting strategies. This field also examines the role of fangs in human culture, such as their representation in folklore and media, including horror films and literature. Understanding fangs can provide insights into animal behavior and ecological interactions.
