Animal Body Parts (advanced)

Noun thin flat part that sticks out from the body of a fish used in moving through the water

Noun the soft, movable part in the mouth that is used for tasting and eating food

Noun long, large tooth that sticks out of the mouth of an animal such as an elephant or walrus
tusk
Walruses use their tusks to chop breathing holes in ice and to get from water onto floes, jabbing the ice as it hoists up its body.
