A hagfish is all covered in slime so that it can easily swim into the mouth of a sick or dead fish and suck out its flesh.
Neanderthals were cannibals, bones show
Neanderthals were cannibals, bones show Scientists report that there was a dark side to
neanderthals - cannibalism. Neanderthals were skilled hunters who
were expert at butchering carcasses of deer, goats, and possibly
even woolly rhinos with wooden spears. A team of researchers have
now uncovered 100,000 year old bones from a Neanderthal site in
France which provide evidence that these early humans consumed the
muscle and bone marrow of their companions. Scientists now think
that while some tribes of neanderthals practiced cannibalism,
others practiced intentional burial and honoured their
dead. 1 OCTOBER 1999, P. 18-19
