Caption: A close up of the jaw of a Crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus). Despite their name these seals fed predominately on krill and their teeth are designed to act like a sieve straining the small ephausid shrimps from the sea water. Note interlocking molars with complex serrated pattern used for straining krill
