I've not read it through yet but keep seeing it all over my Twitter feed.

Funny as it is, the article does raise the legitimate point that Predator mouths make no sense. I always figured they just faceplant a bowl of meat and hope for the best.

The tusks are used to tear and push the foods into their mouths, but the teeth on the inside of the mouth don't make any sense.  They only line the front of the mouth, so they'd be used for tearing too?  No mastication, apparently  They must swallow they're food virtually whole.

They'd probably just choke to death. I'm hoping (for their sake) they have some kind of injectable nutrients or something, or at least a drink of some kind. It's hard to fear something that couldn't survive mashed potatoes.

I would've thought they just used chopsticks like everyone else.

Has anyone ever looked inside of their mouths(lips)? Maybe they have another set of teeth inside there. Or perhaps their esophagus is lined with meat grinding apparatus that pulverize food better than any set of chompers could. So yea, they probably do use chop sticks. Probably eat the chopsticks too. One can never have too much fiber.

They don't seem to have tongues either, that article reminded me of that. Tongues are needed for taste and since it is suggested that City Hunter preferred beef (assuming beef wasn't the only meat there) then it would need the ability to taste.

Lizard-like tongue, probably meaning it extends.

Nice, I actually missed that. In other scenes, he doesn't seem to have a tongue so it might be extendable.

I always see them eat how a scorpion would, at around 0:36 and 1:07

So instead of chopsticks the predator uses a straw to eat sushi? Profound!

[Naginata]

Be kinda cool if they unhinged their jaws or something properly weird like that.

Like a snake?
