Large jaw mole grips usually have wider jaws with a larger capacity. They are therefore used to grip and hold large objects such as large pipes for welding. Each external nostril contains approximately 1,000 strands of nasal hair, which function to filter foreign particles such as pollen and dust. [2] The presence of a cere is variable (Fig 10). The cere is a region of highly sensitive epidermis at the base of the beak. The cere is often bare, but it can be covered by feathers. The cere may or may not contain the nares.
