Why don't you post a picture of a carnivore with a carnivore's teeth which you think could use those carnivore teeth to strain for krill. Even a little bit...

You'll pardon me Shubi, but this is just too good to pass up.

Whale Sharks are not a threat to people. They have about 300 tiny, hooked teeth in both jaws. A Whale Shark feeds by filtering small crustaceans, squids and fishes from the water using filtering screens on the gills. This species feeds by swimming with its huge mouth open, however it can also feed by hanging vertically in the water and opening its mouth to let water rush in.

I guess that since judywillow's premise - that carnivores could not filter krill with their teeth - has been refuted, she will now be admitting that whales could have, in fact, have evolved from toothed ancestors.

And then Ariel Sharon will be given the 'Palestinian Man of the Year 'award.

Whale and basking sharks filter krill with their gills, not their teeth.

Other than that I asked for a picture of a carnivore which could also filter krill, and so far nobody's provided one.
