The upper mandible has a tooth-like protrusion that helps them grab prey.

物种起源
In this latter bird the lamellae of the upper mandible are much coarser than in the common duck, almost confluent, about twenty-seven in number on each side, and terminating upward in teeth-like knobs.
The maxilla (plural: maxillae/mækˈsɪliː/) is the upper jawbone formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones. The upper jaw includes the palate of the mouth. The two maxillary bones are fused at the inter maxillary suture. This is similar to the mandible (lower jaw), which is also a fusion of two mandibular bones at the mandibular symphysis.
