Pretty sure we are the only animals with pink rings around our mouth. It’s flipping weird.

It probably helps with verbal language understanding as humans often use mouth movements to interpret words (see McGurk effect). But I still think it’s weird.

Big pink rings.

    Those are both great and also emphasize how weird big high contrast lips are on animals.
