TranscriptionA picture of an orange cat from above, on the right side of his neck a chunk of fur is missing, making him look like someone took a bite out of him.

If I remember correctly...

You don't. :D

They are actually less boney than other boney fish and mostly have cartilaginous skeletal tissue. They aren't eaten much because they have thick, rubbery, mucusy skin (up to 2-3/4" thick), and then a thick, gelatinous layer that's 90% water. But sea lions do eat them. So do sharks and orcas.
