All these years the conspiracy theorists have been trying to convince us the government found little green men from outer space in Roswell NM, which they keep in Area 51. :bs:

Well, now NPR has revealed the truth. They weren't green, they were grey. And not from outer space, but a collaboration between Joseph Stalin and Dr Josef Mengele to give Harry Truman a PR and public panic problem.

Said so on NPR... also the New York Times*. :yesnod:

The molars of the crab eater seal are freaky. You think flossing sucks for you. Just imagine.

in wikipedia:

Quote:
This success of this species is due to its specialized predation on the abundant Antarctic krill of the Southern Ocean, for which it has uniquely adapted, sieve-like tooth structure. Indeed, its scientific name, translated as "lobe-toothed (lobodon) crab eater (carcinophagus)", refers specifically to the finely lobed teeth adapted to filtering their small crustacean prey.[3] Despite its name, crabeater seals do not eat crabs. As well as being an important krill predator, the crabeater seal is an important component of the diet of leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx), which consume about 80% of all crabeater pups.
