Description Agnatha: The Red Wheel Beast

What would terrestrial predation be like, if the mandible and the hyoid not evolved? Here, the premaxilla has become hinged downward to created a grasping interface, paired with a long prehensile sensory tongue

It's eyeless, jawless pack hunting predator that cooperatively draws and quarters its prey.

How does the tongue stay wet and how does it not cut its own tongue? Curiosity aside, one of my favorite creatures.

This thing looks fantastic. Love the concept and how the jaws work. It looks so completely otherworldly. Great work!

Quite the interesting concept! I had never considered the above, it seems so staple in biology, you know? I defnitely approve of the idea, but I hav a queston: Do the tooth baldes actually spin, and if so, how? If you don't know, that's cool, I was just wondering.
