minus-squareremotelove@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoWell, I can’t think of a creature that has anything related to external teeth instead of hair, less a few bizarre mutations that might have occurred. Blue whales, on the other hand: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baleen
minus-squareSquibbles@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoHope you REALLY love shrimp. Or krill I guess but that’s harder to find at the grocery store.
minus-squareremotelove@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI do! While there are probably some major drawbacks, like having to swallow the occasional religious prophet or sentient log, it kinda sounds OK.
minus-squarethreelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoIsn’t shark skin rough because it’s basically covered in tiny teeth?
minus-squareremotelove@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoHuh, TIL. On reading about them, shark denticles primarily consist of dentin. Denticles are as close to teeth as baleen are to hair, I suppose. I guess we could dig around and find more surprisingly logical answers to OPs question. (Still, a shark or a whale is a decent choice.)
