Is it the canine or the carnassial?

Carnassial: the last upper premolar or the first lower molar tooth of certain carnivores.
Canine: The tool that is important for shearing and tearing flesh.
Both have their own functionalities, so, every carnivore is required to have this. But, when a carnivore prowls or yawns, the most significantly displayed teeth are the canines (2 in upper jaw and 2 in lower jaw)

Canine Teeth: of a carnivorous animal; used to seize and tear its prey.
Those pointy Fang-like Dracula teeth that we have, dogs have, cats have... any carnivorous hunter has.
Think of a Saber-toothed Tiger, or a bat, or anything that primarily eats meat.
