Broken Tusk

The default position of the mandibles is being closed around the Predator's mouth, especially when wearing a bio-mask. Stephan Lautenschlager is a biomechanicist (BI-oh-meh-KAN-ih-cizt). Such scientists study how living things move. At the University of Bristol in England, he’s been working out how widely some dinosaurs could stretch open their mouths to feed (or maybe yawn!). In his new study, he looked at theropods. Most theropod species were meat-eaters. Stan Winston, the main creator of the Predator creature, initially struggled with the design of the Jungle Hunter. A. Yeager. “ 'Frankenstein' dino showed a mashup of traits.” Science News for Students. April 29, 2015.

Thankfully, this crazed hybrid was put down and no other Predators with more than four mandibles are known.

Ease of use: The easier a call is to get comfortable with, the sooner it can be put to good use. Mouth fatigue also plays a part in this—the less effort a call requires to blow, the more effective it will be. Bellwood, D.R; Wainwright, P.C; Fulton, C.J; Hoey, A.S (2005-10-12).

Protrusion is the extension of the mouth or premaxilla towards the prey, via mechanical linkages. Protrusion is known only in modern bony fishes, which possess many forms of coupled linkages in their head. [29] Remarkable examples are the slingjaw wrasse and the sand eel, which can protrude their mouth by several centimeters. Another example of protrusion is seen in dragonfly larvae (nymphs), which have hydraulic lower mandibles, protruding forward to catch prey and bring it to the top jaw. [30] Filter versus suspension feeding [ edit ] Krill feeding under high phytoplankton concentration (slowed down by a factor of 12) Preferring to eat raw meat, they devour the bloody flesh of animals with their mandibles and teeth. It is understandable that the Predators open their mouths to express themselves, but it makes sense to keep it closed, leaving the mouth moist.Allosaurus fragilis A large predatory dinosaur that moved around on two legs. It lived in the later Jurassic Period, some 155 million years ago. With a body that spanned 7 to 10 meters (25 to 35 feet) long and likely moved faster than anything it preyed upon. In contrast to other predators in its environment, it had powerful arms with large-clawed hands.
