So is it one creature or a group of creatures?
One creature, they were just looking at where the genes expressed. There's a surprising amount of commonality in the DNA between animals, so they're able to look at where those common genes express on one vs another.
One creature that is all head.

The head, please English.
There's no full stop. Please English.
Hah, true
But butt
But butt, in the butt?
The head, the whole head and nothing but the head.
