A lion's roar, for instance, will show off several beautifully.
On the other hand a domestic cat's yawn is unlikely to be very threatening - and a gorilla's is designed to keep the peace.
Vampires:
musk-deer:
boar:
and the walrus:
show off their canines pretty much all the time. (Though, if you're a vampire, you won't be able to see yours. Except possibly with a selfie.)
The best canines to spot are a dog's, because canine means anything to do with a dog (or, indeed, a dog itself), and so a dog's canines are, very pleasingly, a canine's canines.

Spot the frippet: canine. This word is from the Latin canis, which means dog.
As the proud owner of three large canines with very big canines, how many points do I get for seeing all their canine canines?
ReplyDeleteThree large canines with very big canines?

As many as you like!
Thank you! :)
DeleteI say 6.
