The secret of whale jaws

By dissecting whale carcasses, the complex structure of the giant jaw has been seen for years that researchers have never known.

Dubbed the largest animal in existence, each bait can be up to 100 tons including mollusks and water in just 10 seconds. This can show that whales have cleverly coordinated their jaw muscles and bones to be able to catch that giant prey easily.

Scientists have found a whale sensory organ that binds bones and muscles to the brain, helping control whales to expand their jaws as large as possible. At the same time, they found that in the anterior nasal structure is full of nerves. Research suggests that this mess is the sensor that receives signals from the jaw from the start of the mouth. The nerves that lead to the brain and control the whale have spectacular, precise and dramatic attacks on the prey, said Dr. Pyenson, the leader of Nicholas Pyenson's study from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. .

These studies were dissected on a dead whale carcass. This is a good opportunity not to harm this rare whale. With fairly detailed and accurate analyzes using high-resolution medical images to get the above results.

The results of this study have explained how these giant whales can coordinate well between the throat pouch and the quick opening and closing of the jaw to prevent the prey from escaping in just 10. seconds. It can be said that this discovery shows an adaptation of mammals to aquatic lifestyles.

This is an interesting discovery that has not been known for hundreds of years.
