Reply:Technically killer whales aka orcas are not really whales and belong to the dolphin family.
Reply:Narwhales aka the unicorn ones they have a huge horn shaped front tooth.
Reply:My neighbour.
Reply:MOST ALL OTHER WHALES HAVE TEETH BUT NOT MADE FROM ENAMAL BUT FROM SOFTER CARTLIGDE STUFF, THEY DONT NEED TEETH THEY ONLY EAT BITS
Reply:blue whales dont really have big teeth but they do have baleen plates that they use to sweep through the ocean and as they open their mouths they allow water to pass through and their food to get stuck in the plates. does that count?
Reply:The Prince of Wales (Whales) - oh no, he has big ears, not teeth! lol
Reply:Types of Whales


There are two major groups of whales—the toothed whales (suborder Odontoceti) and the toothless baleen whales (suborder Mysticeti).





Toothed Whales


Toothed whales include two families that are widely distributed, the beaked and bottlenose whales (family Ziphiidae) and the sperm whale, or cachalot (family Physeteridae); the beluga, or white whale, and the narwhal (family Monodontidae), small polar whales with no dorsal fin and only a few teeth; the river dolphins (family Platanispidae), which inhabit muddy rivers of India and South America; and several families better known as ocean dolphins and porpoises. The killer whale and pilot whale are types of dolphin. The white whale Moby-Dick, of Herman Melville's novel, was not a beluga but a sperm whale with prominent white features.





Interesting question - also interesting is that killer whales are actually a type of dolphin!
Reply:Killer whales are actually not whales at all but a type or dolphin.





But there are a few types of whales with sharp teeth. They are called Toothed whales. The list of toothed whales includes Narwhals, sperm whales, and many others. Check 'em out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothed_wha...
Reply:Sperm whales do, they eat mainly squid.
Reply:i believe sperm whales have big teeth, so did many species of now extinct predatory whales!
Reply:"Whale" is a somewhat imprecise term, meaning anything from "all creatures in the order Cetacea" to "big animals, not dolphins and porpoises, in the order Cetacea".





However, sperm whales definitely fit the bill, being both large animals in the order Cetacea, not being dolphins or porpoises, and having huge teeth.
