Folks, this below is bizarre.  Look at the mouth size.

 

Now look below at the size of this mouth.  Looks like the one above, right?  Believe it or not, they are twins.  They were NOT sitting right next to each other either.  They both put big mouth with big teeth.  No one else did.  A bit interesting to me.
