THE big Antonov aircraft lumbered over the snow-clad mountains, landed at Kabul airport and, like a mythological whale, opened its great jaws to disgorge a consignment of Russian-designed attack helicopters.
Bikes are too often stolen and too often destroyed by the great jaws of this wicked city and to be able to hop on a bike in Manhattan, ride a few blocks, and then park the old girl anywhere would be a godsend.
Longer jaws enable the capture of larger prey, increase the speed of the jaws during biting, and can promote greater jaw protrusion, all of which have been repeatedly linked to an enhanced ability to capture elusive prey in multiple perciform lineages [34], [87], [88], [91] [95].
In contrast, limnetic stickleback possess traits thought to enhance capture of evasive planktonic prey, including greater jaw protrusion than benthics and greater displacement advantage in both the lower jaw-opening lever system and the opercular four-bar linkage.
These differences imply that benthics have the capacity to generate higher suction pressure than limnetics, whereas limnetics will have faster jaw movements and greater jaw protrusion during the strike.
As expected from the morphological measurements, our linear mixed model analysis of kinematic data revealed that limnetics exhibit greater jaw protrusion than benthics, and they have shorter times to peak gape, peak lower jaw rotation, and prey capture (Table 2).
Kinematic data support the expectations from the morphological analysis that limnetic stickleback exhibit faster strikes and greater jaw protrusion than benthic fish, whereas benthics exert greater suction force on attached prey.
Mr. Reeve -- now bald, still with that great SUPERMAN jaw -- wore a tuxedo with a shiny gold vest.
For years, great white sharks have been trophy-hunted for their large jaws and teeth.
