A new study has unveiled an incredible conundrum when it comes to mammals: why do they have such stiff jaws? For years, researchers have been perplexed by the relationship between the jaw muscles and the jawbones of mammals. While the jaw muscles of other vertebrates are highly flexible and can move in all directions, mammal jaws are incredibly stiff and locked in place. This has been a major puzzle among researchers for years, and now a team of scientists has finally revealed the answer.
