[2] [6] Its teeth have re-evolved after being absent for over 200 million years, challenging Dollo's law.

Salamanders, caecilians and some frogs have one or two rows of teeth in both jaws, but some frogs (Rana spp.) lack teeth in the lower jaw, and toads (Bufo spp.) have no teeth. In many amphibians there are also vomerine teeth attached to a facial bone in the roof of the mouth. [143] Edible frog (Pelophylax esculentus) exhibiting cannibalism

Furthermore, there are monogastric carnivores such as cats. [1] A monogastric organism is contrasted with ruminant organisms (which have four-chambered complex stomachs), such as cattle, goats ...
