The Mystery of the Elmendorf Beast

"The jaw structure is not a deformity in the usual sense because it is symmetrical. It is not a mammalian jaw at all, but appears more akin to the jaw of a reptile. There is nothing in the genetic code of the mammal that would enable a jaw structure such as this.

Uh-oh -- "intentional genetic manipulation." Scary black-ops stuff. Strieber, the Oprah Winfrey of the paranormal world, is going to have a field day with this.
