The lips consist of soft, fleshy tissue that surrounds the beaks. The full ring of the lips is not visible in the photograph, just the top and bottom of the ring which gives the impression of upper and lower sets of teeth. Also the beaks cannot be seen as they are dark and the exposure was made for the lighter tissues. It had never occurred to me that the lips could be interpreted as teeth. I'm traveling at the moment; when I return to Hawaii, I'll add something to the figure caption to clarify this. Thanks for your interest. Best wishes, Dick" I e-mailed the professor who took this photo because i really wanted to know what these “human-like” teeth were made of…and he said the following:
