Apart from this provision, the latter, when empty of steam, would be in danger of burning out by the action of the hot gases surrounding them, especially at the firebox end.

Among cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes), the consumption of hard prey (durophagy) is most common in the clade of skates and rays. . . which contain only durophagous taxa . . . Durophagy in batoid fishes takes a variety of forms: diets can involve comparatively thin-shelled crustaceans, thick-shelled molluscs and/or prey with softer, tougher exoskeletons (e.g. shrimp or even insects) . . . Hard prey processing has not been extensively surveyed in batoid fishes, but at least two strategies exist . . .: what we will call "chemical durophagy," where predators rely on low stomach pH or chitinase to break down prey exoskeletons . . . and "mechanical durophagy", where predators crush prey before ingestion . . .
glosses: The eating of hard-shelled foods such as bones or nuts, or prey organisms such as shellfish.
