Adult llamas and alpacas normally have three pairs of front teeth or incisors, located on the lower jaw. The intact male has three pairs of fighting teeth, two upper pairs and one lower pair. In the female, the fighting teeth are usually rudimentary. Males gelded at a young age also tend to have small fighting teeth. They have one to two pairs of premolars on the upper and lower jaw, and three pairs of molars on the upper and lower jaw. The premolars and molars are the grinding teeth towards the back of the mouth. They are normally sharp and should not be confused with "points" or abnormally sharp edges.
The fighting teeth erupt at 2 to 7 years, 2 with average being 2-1/2 years. The fighting teeth are very large and pointed in the adult male. They can be used as harmful weapons against others of their kind or people. For safety reasons, the fighting teeth should be removed or filed off in the male.

so let me get this straight, if you get your balls cut off your teeth don't grow.
domesticated pigs will get their wolf teeth cut when they are piglets... it keeps injuries down from fighting/is easier on the mother's teets along with a few other things.... the centuries of selective breeding in hogs has caused the changes in the skull of domestic pigs compared to wild hogs.... as well as adding i think 2 more vertebrae in the pigs back because they are breeding only the longest hogs... just a cool bit of info... kind looks like a hog... but i can't be positive... I was thinking chupacabra as well

the llamas and alpacas use those fighting teeth to bite each other's balls off. it's a dominant male kinda thing...nasty fighters. most llama owners will cut the male's fighting teeth off for obvious reasons.
Yep see, they might make good guard dogs. Couple tweekers running around singing soprano, less crime in the neighborhood for sure.

from the tip of the nose to back of whet,
from back of whet to front corner of the eye,
from the front corner of the eye to the "Y" in the ear,
from the "Y" of the ear to the tip of the ear
Each measurement should be the same length.
