Holy Cow, that bad boy needs a dentist (1st shot). He can have my appointment for this afternoon.

So, what's the story here. From TV programs, my understanding is that these guys/gals are very dangerous and kill lots of people each year. Were you guys tormenting these critters to open their mouths which I'm assuming is a defensive posture. Cool shots, kinda gruesome in a way.

Thanks for making me appreciate the condition my teeth are in:D,
Chris
