Wow, Steve!
None of the ones I've seen have been thus endowed!
This looks to be the same in other respects, colour, pattern, hairs, eyes, etc.
Do you think it could be a male/female thing?

Easier to look at rotated 90 left?

Roger.

Edit: Thought... could it be that they're usually folded-up in front of its "face", except when actually hunting/attacking?

The more I look, the more there is to see!

I need to ask an expert but I'm sure it is a male. The angle was as shot as it was on the bathroom tiles. There was a hilarious moment when he wandered over the edge of the mirror and his reflection frightened him so much he jumped off the wall, sadly not caught on camera.

I've also cleaned my sensor since
