Anisostomous

/ˌænɪsoʊˈstɑːməs/ adjective

Definition

Having mouths or openings of unequal size, often used in zoological descriptions of animals with asymmetrical mouth structures.

Etymology

From Greek 'aniso-' (unequal) + 'stoma' (mouth) + '-ous' (full of). The term developed in zoological classification to describe animals with irregular oral openings.

Kelly Says

Some fish and insects actually do have mouths that aren't perfectly symmetrical—this word lets scientists describe creatures that break our assumptions about body symmetry.
