Penguin “Jaws”

Penguins may lack teeth, but they have backward facing spines in their throats that grip and guide fish down.

This photo of a rockhopper penguin was taken by Will Burrard-Lucas on the Falkland Islands.

I think I may just have a line on the Syfy Channel‘s next cheesy movie…

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
