Sorta like man boobs on us older guys. Give them all a couple of more years and they will be shooters. "Don't cling to Mistake, just because you spent a lot of time making it."

I'm really hoping that most of them are only 1.5 yr olds that are benefitting from the protein pellets I've been supplementally feeding them with. I guess it's impossible to know without being able to check their jawbones
