Carp don’t have teeth in their mouths, but they do have them deep in their throat. These pharyngeal teeth act like molars, letting carp grind vegetation and hard material efficiently. The shape even varies by species, reflecting what they eat. It’s a strange but effective adaptation, and one more reminder that fish biology is full of surprises. #ChesapeakeBay #Carp #FishBiology #BayEcology #FreshwaterFish #NatureFacts #BRRC | Back River Restoration Committee
