Do they not have cavities all over the place ?
In: Biology
Most wild animals do not live long enough to get serious teeth issues. Domestic animals live twice as long as their wild counterparts and indoor animals live three to four times as long as wild ones. So wild animals do not usually live long enough to get issues with their teeth because of things like infections, fights, accidents, malnutrition, and other issues.
But even the wild animals that do live long enough to have issues with their teeth will usually not live for long. They are less likely to eat properly with a tooth ache and often make the infection worse. So their health tends to deteriorate and they often end up dying. So you do not see many wild animals with missing teeth as they usually die before it gets that bad.
