...Whatever the truth, President Lincoln was supposedly born in a log cabin. His beard was a habit popularized by French immigrants. European immigrants introduced wheat to America, and American Indians introduced them to corn, tomatoes, and other foods that are staples of the American diet today. From "beard"...Tentacles are well developed in otters, seals, sea lions, fur seals, and other animals that dive underwater to search for prey on the bottom, and in walruses, thick, chopstick-like ones grow densely on the upper lip. The beards that grow on the lower jaws of goats and ibex are similar to men's beards, but the skin at the base of the beards has developed scent glands, which apparently greatly increase the area that emits scent. Beards are also found in wildebeests, bearded monkeys, Diana monkeys, and Brazza monkeys, but their relationship to scent glands is unclear. *Some of the terminology that mentions "beard" is listed below.
