Dogfish Memes

Someone's definitely having fun with scientific terminology here! What you're looking at is a classic example of made-up "scientific" nonsense that perfectly mimics the tone of actual biology textbooks. The "horngus," "scungle," and "dillsack (the nutte sac)" are completely fabricated terms applied to what appears to be an actual dogfish embryo. Real marine biologists are currently screaming internally. It's like someone crashed a biology conference wearing a lab coat made of construction paper and nobody stopped them. The citation "[77]" is the chef's kiss of academic parody - making this absurdity look properly referenced!
