Chicken will grow teeth when pigs can fly.


[sarcasm] When chickens can grow teeth, how do the cocks feel about it?
[/sarcasm]


Well, better start searching the skies for flying pork-scientists
have discovered a mutant chicken with a full set of crocodile-like
chompers.

Researchers also tweaked the genes of normal chickens to grow teeth.


What is the stance of the chickens on this matter?


The mutant chick, called Talpid, also had severe limb defects and died
before hatching.

Although it was discovered 50 years ago, no one had ever examined its
mouth.


Good find. Intersting read.
