I ate a too hot omelette and burnt the roof of my mouth again.

Now it feels sensitive and fragile, again.

Why did we as a species, whom are omnivores, develop such thin mouth roofs?

Hippos can crush entire watermelons with their mouths, why didn’t we get a tough inner roof.

    Which animal ever eats something too hot that burns their mouth? How do you know they don’t burn their mouths in the same way? Do you think hippos use the top of their mouth or their teeth to crush watermelons? Is your fragile mouth the only thing stopping you from crushing entire watermelons?
