A San legend claims that a black-footed cat can kill a giraffe by piercing its jugular.
As the internal jugular is large, central and relatively superficial, it is often used to place venous lines.
To slip gory scenes past the Standards and Practices department at Fox Broadcasting, Williamson explained, "There are tricks... Okay, in the same episode there's an actor cutting someone in the jugular, and you're harping on the sex scene? So I sent a little email to Fox Entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly, and within 15 minutes the broadcast-and-standards people were like, It's okay".
