Just out of shot due to the way it is swimming, the sea badger has a tube that projects out of its arse to the surface allowing it to not have to go to the surface for air like lesser evolved animals like cetaceans.

We should take advantage of :oshea:'s connections at Discovery, and see if we can get some funding for an expedition to reveal the secrets of the sea badger.

... Col's pic was brilliant; I don't think I've seen a more valid poopoo of the mimic concept; must use that in a lecture one of these days!
