MemberXenomorphFebruary 16, 2017Have you ever wondered what/how/why the Inner mouth of the Xeno came to be.? I was always curious about how they came up with the concept so I did some research. The inner mouth of the Xeno is actually real. It's crazy that something in our world has a similar mechanism. It is called a Pharyngeal Jaw. This is common to the Moray Eel. The Moray Eel has a Pharyngeal Jaw. It's nothing like the Xeno's and has a lot more in common with the Deacon then the actual Xeno, but still cool none the less. I have included a diagram showing how the Pharyngeal Jaw functions.
Pretty awesome huh.
