Awesome site. Great pictures. It solved a very important logical mystery for me: Where the front/mouth of a computer mouse is and if we really cover its mouth with our filthy paws when we plug its long tail into our computer when we are browsing cat video's. :)

Don't be fooled, the mouth is obviously the opening on the bottom where the ball (tongue) sits, like a facehugger or headcrab.

Well, clearly, they vaporize their food with the laser and then simply inhale the fumes.
