Today’s Wonder of the Day was inspired by Izaak. Izaak Wonders, “What fish has the largest teeth?” Thanks for WONDERing with us, Izaak!

When you think of fish and teeth, what comes to mind? If you’ve ever seen “Jaws,” then you might picture the razor-sharp teeth of the great white shark. You might also think of piranhas! Those tiny fish have big appetites. They can devour a large animal in a matter of minutes.

When it comes to large teeth, though, one fish leads the rest. Great white sharks have large teeth, but they’re also huge fish. When tooth size is compared to head size, the Sloane’s viperfish stands out as the fish with the largest teeth!

How large are the teeth of Sloane’s viperfish? They’re so large that, when the fish has its mouth closed, its teeth overlap its jaws! The fish has to open its mouth to make its jaws vertical before it can swallow prey. Its largest teeth are about half the size of its head!

The Sloane’s viperfish has a large head that tapers to a small, forked tail. It can be anywhere from one to eight inches long. Besides its disproportionately large teeth, the Sloane’s viperfish also stands out because of its color. It’s a shining silver-blue and has small photophores along its body.

The light from these photophores actually helps the Sloane’s viperfish hunt for food. The light attracts smaller fish. Once close enough, the Sloane’s viperfish can trap them in its long teeth.

During the day, the Sloane’s viperfish stays in deep water (from 2,000 to over 8,000 feet deep). At night, though, it will move a bit closer to the surface. At less than 2,000 feet deep, food can be found more easily.

What exactly does the Sloane’s viperfish eat? Mostly small fish and crustaceans. Of course, it’s always on the lookout for other predators, too. Atlantic bluefin tuna like to make Sloane’s viperfish the main course at dinnertime.

So do you need to be worried about running into a Sloane’s viperfish? Not likely! The Sloane’s viperfish is a deep-sea dragonfish. It makes its home in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. You’re not likely to run into its big teeth in the shallows of your favorite beach.

Wonder What's Next?

We're heading to the front lines to explore tomorrow's Wonder of the Day!

Try It Out

We hope you enjoyed today's deep-sea Wonder of the Day! Keep fishing for more knowledge by checking out one or more of the following activities with a friend or family member:

Take some time to learn a bit more about fish. Do you know what kinds of fish are most common where you live? If not, look it up! Do some research on fish in your area. Different fish populate different areas. Just like you won't find many moose in Florida, you won't find many dolphins in Colorado! You could also check out a local sporting goods shop and talk to a few people who fish often in your area. You might be surprised what you can learn from local fishermen. Can you discover what fish are famous in your area?
If today's fishy Wonder of the Day put you into a nautical mood, don't wait! Go fishing right now! Grab a pole, your tackle box and some bait and head out to your favorite fishing hole. Don't forget to bring along a friend or family member. Fishing by yourself isn't nearly as much fun as fishing with friends. While you fish, you can take the time to share what you learned in today's Wonder of the Day with your fishing buddies. They might have some stories of their own about fish teeth!
If it's just not possible to hit the lake, the river, the stream or the ocean today, you can still have some fishy fun. Grab some art supplies and make a poster to show your friends and family members. You can draw a picture of the famous fish in your area, along with some key facts about each fish. For a challenge, draw each fish to scale, so that others can see how these fish compare to each other in terms of average size. Have fun learning about the finned friends in your area!

Yes I like great white sharks Madison.

That's right, Madison! When comparing body sizes, the Sloane's viperfish actually beats out the Great White shark for the largest teeth! :)

Wow ireally love dis article

We're really glad to hear you liked this Wonder of the Day, Destiny! We hope you're having a WONDERful day!! :)

What is the purpose of their clear teeth ? Why does glowing lights attract other fish ?

Thanks for WONDERing with us, HMA2004! Fish have special receptors in their eyes that detect changes in light in the water. When they see light appear, it may signal to them that there is food in that direction, so they'll follow it. That's when the Sloane’s viperfish will strike! :)

The biggest fish I have ever seen with teeth was an Alligator Gar.

Wow! That sounds cool, Justin! Thanks for sharing with us today, Wonder Friend! :-)

My dad used to work at a fish and coral greenhouse.

Very cool, Kaylah! He must have seen some unusual fish! Thanks for sharing with us today! :-)

Hi wonderopolis, we loved the wonder. We leaned that the viper fish has the largest teeth. They live in a ocean. Have a great day wonderopolis! bye.

WONDERful, Andrew and Dorian! We think the viper fish is a very scary looking fish. We wouldn't want to encounter that fish while swimming in the ocean. What about you? Thanks for sharing today, Wonder Friends! Hope you have a WONDERful day! :-)

Hi there, Anthony, Elizabeth, and Alex! You did a great job of sharing your observations from today's Wonder! We love your descriptions of the viperfish! We hope you'll Wonder with us again soon - we look forward to learning with you! :)

THOUGHT. I thought they looked cool. CONNECTION. I have seen a viperfish before. WWOTD: I encountered a viperfish. PREDICTION: I bet tomorrow's wonder will be fun.

Thought: Those fish look creepy and cool at the same time, and the music was so cool that I felt like rocking it!!! Connection: I have a beta fish, so tell me anything about fish and I will understand. Prediction: I think tomorrow's wonder of the day will be about volcanos.

The fish were long. Their teeth were big and long. I wonder how they eat.

Do all fish have big teeth or is it only certain fish?

What GREAT questions, Carlos, DeMetrius, Jessica, and Kayla! Viperfish's teeth are extra sharp and tough to see, which is how they get their predators close to them before they attack. Not all fish have big teeth, some have very tiny teeth! We hope you'll continue to Wonder about teeth and fish of all sorts, Wonder Friends! Keep up the great work! :)

This article is about a viperfish and how they eat. The viperfish so far has the longest teeth of all fish. Their teeth are so long that they don't fit in their mouths. Viperfish live in deep water up 8,000 feet... Viperfish eat shrimp, squid, and hermit crabs.They also have small photophores along its body to produce light. These lights attract fish to them.

I wonder how viperfish have bigger teeth than a shark but a shark has more teeth than a viper fish. I think that the viperfish has bigger teeth than a shark. I wonder if viper fish those one fish with a light on their head.

Do you think a viper fish can kill the great white shark?

I wonder how long piranha's teeth are.

Way to go, Addy, Edgar, Adrian, and Kimmie! Viperfish are very cool to Wonder about, aren't they? We are glad you had fun learning and WONDERing with us today - we sure do hope to Wonder with you tomorrow! Here are some other fish Wonders for you to enjoy: https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonders?q=fish :)

Fish are cool and could learn a lot.

I wonder why viperfish have large teeth. I know they use them to get their prey.

How do they have long teeth?

I've never seen a Sloane's Viperfish before.

Viperfish have teeth that allow them to attract and grab their prey so they can eat. We are so glad you have shared some of your questions and observations with us, Amauri, Donavin, Chris, and Rafael! We hope you'll continue to Wonder about all sorts of fish and underwater creatures: Wonder #408-- Are Jellyfish Made of Jelly? https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/are-jellyfish-made-of-jelly/ :)

It is cool that a piranha can eat a person in a few minutes.

I thought that sharks had the largest teeth but I just found out that the viperfish has the largest teeth.

How and why do they have and need sharp teeth?

Is there a fish with bigger teeth?

These viperfish sure do have some seriously pointy teeth, don't they Adrian, Kamarien, Romen, and Ben?! :) We are glad you enjoyed WONDERing with us today as we learned all about the small but mighty viperfish. Some fish may have bigger teeth, like the shark, but compared to their small bodies, viperfish have the largest teeth. :)

This story is cool because it tells you how deep these fish are in the ocean and how long there teeth and how long their body is and what they eat.

That is weird how the fish's teeth are as big as half of their body.

I <3 the video because i <3

That is a wierd looking fish but the article was cool.

Great WONDERing Keith, Jacob, Danessa, Jenna, and Deven! Viperfish have sharp teeth in order to eat their prey after they catch it. Without sharp teeth they might not be able to attack. We are glad you've been WONDERing about other things under the sea, including the remains of the Titanic. Here's a Wonder for you to enjoy: #143-- What is an Iceberg? https://www.wonderopolis.org/wonder/what-is-an-iceberg/ :)

Great work, Miranda, Tiffany, Tam, and Jeremiah! We love your questions and Wonders of your own - what if humans DID have viperfish teeth? We would have to get used to that; we bet eating a sandwich for lunch would take some practice! :) Thanks for sharing your awesome connections about animals and amphibians of all kinds, Wonder Friends! You ROCK! :)

I think you guys do great with this website. I can't wait to see tomorrow's wonder of the day. bye

Yes they're right I did think sharks and piranha came to my mind but when I saw the video I said to myself what are viperfish? And I found out they are the fish with the light. Why do they eat those crustaceans?

Nice work, Taquirria, Amelia, Cameron, and Destiny! We are so excited that you learned cool facts about the viperfish with us today! What an interesting amphibian to Wonder about! Viperfish prey on crustaceans, including shrimp and hermit crabs, because they are located in their natural habitats. Viperfish prey on larger creatures, too, because they can unhinge their large jaws! We hope you'll keep WONDERing about these cool fish! :)

Question: why do you guys make cool music I like it you guys are cool.

I now know that viperfish are meat eaters. I wonder if they eat more than shrimp and crabs?

This video was cool and it was weird because it asked us which fish have the largest teeth. I think tomorrow's wonder will be get enough sleep bye wonder bye:amelia

Taquirria how much food can viper fish eat in one day? Taquirria Predictions is I think the topic is going to be why do kids go to school, sleep?

Do fish have bones in their bodies? Is there a type of fish that can live on land?

Great comments, Cameron, Jack, Ariel, and Byancah! We hope you continue to Wonder all about the viperfish today - there is so much to learn! Their silver color helps them attract prey. Some fish, including viporfish, have bones in their fins. Other fish have no bones at all! :)

what type fish are they and did they find them like that them are weird fish.

Prediction: why do they look like they're silver? Question: why do they have long bodies?

I have never seen a viperfish and they are interesting.

Weird but what do the eggs look like?

We hope you will continue to Wonder all about the viperfish and the eggs the female fish release. We like reading your cool connections and predictions, Wonder Friends! Keep up the great work - we look forward to WONDERing with you tomorrow! :)

My grandpa caught an enormous fish and it did not have big teeth.

Questions: Can a fish kill a human being? Predictions: I think it might be that they have how fast do you fall asleep.

How many eggs does the viperfish lay?

That fish is like 2 feet long. Don't they have a light?

Good morning Jasmine, Aidan, Sadie, and Elijah! Thank you for sharing your WONDERful connections with us today! We Wonder if you have seen bigger, sharper teeth on a fish! Phew! We hope you'll keep Wonder about different pearly whites on different amphibians and animals! :)

Those fish are scary.

Comment: those teeth were big. How big are those teeth? Is it about mattress?

Are there different fish who have bigger teeth?
