    Found only in males, the forehead rod—called a tenaculum—is the ghost sharks' only source of distinct teeth, and it seems to be used to grasp females in much the same way sharks use their toothy mouths in mating.

    Tenaculum is the new word of the day!

    I did not read the article. I was curious why and how forehead tewth are an evolutionary advantage but I am okay with not knowing. That's enough internet for next week

    Even if I have to grow teeth on my fucking forehead, I'm getting me some tail.

    Ugh, I hate lazy science reporting like this. A title like « Horny fish seem to survive/breed more » is not only catchier but more accurate.
