jpc Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 That is where the left and right jaw come together. This is an adult animal with a strong suture. In a youthful one, the suture might be much weaker, but to be honest, I would have to go look at any young oreos I have to answer that for sure. It could just as well be that they are born with a strong suture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
