Splayed teeth stone carvings

The other stone carvings which I really enjoyed were representations of animals with splayed teeth.  Yes, I think they're cute.

From Angkor Wat, here's a couple pictures from the epic tale of monkey warriors fighting the demons.  Their only weapons were their teeth.

Also at Banteay Srei, the half-man-half-lion incarnate of Vishnu killing Hiranyakashipu.  You can read about the story here.
