Snails have thousands of teeth.

Is the other a shark? As in Jaws 3! (just joking)

the shark constantly loses teeth and replaces them - so they don't have over 20,000 teeth at one time, but rather over their entire life, they'll go through that many teeth!

Many primitive animals have three mouthparts or jaws. I'd guess the answer to the first question is either the medicinal leech or the locust.

Some sharks can have up to . The only other suggestion would be snails, but they're not really teeth.

Some sharks can have up to 20000 teeth in a lifetime. The only other suggestion would be snails, but they're not really teeth.
