Sclereids in a diffuse pattern are dispersed throughout the leaf tissue, and sclereids in a terminal pattern are concentrated about the tips of leaf veins. Sclereid formations in leaves include the branched sclereids of Trochodendron , the columnar sclereids of Hakea , and the hair-like trichosclereids that branch into air chambers within the ...
While in the egg, the Squamata embryo develops an egg tooth on the premaxillary that helps the animal emerge from the egg. [33] A reptile will increase three to twentyfold in length from hatching to adulthood. [33] There are three main life history events that lepidosaurs reach: hatching/birth, sexual maturity, and reproductive senility. [33]
Tracheoid idioblasts have also been known as lignified idioblasts, spiral cells, tracheoidal idioblasts, spirally thickened sclereids, and tracheoidioblasts. Sclerenchymatous idioblasts are thickened structural cells that provide stability and rigidity to the plant. In multiples they are known as sclereids. A singular sclerenchymatous idioblast ...
Rats, for example, really like it when we tickle them. In 2023, researchers found that when tickled, rats squeak joyfully in a high-pitched noise, similar to a giggling sound.
The development of a siphuncle would have allowed the shells of these early forms to become gas-filled (thus buoyant) in order to support them and keep the shells upright while the animal crawled along the floor, and separated the true cephalopods from putative ancestors such as Knightoconus, which lacked a siphuncle.

Ankylosauridae (/ ˌ æ ŋ k ɪ l oʊ ˈ s ɔː r ɪ d iː /) is a family of armored dinosaurs within Ankylosauria, and is the sister group to Nodosauridae.The oldest known ankylosaurids date to around 122 million years ago and went extinct 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Moschops (Greek for "calf face") is an extinct genus of therapsids that lived in the Guadalupian epoch, around 265–260 million years ago.They were heavily built plant eaters, and they may have lived partly in water, as hippopotamuses do.
Humans have been constructing animal statues for thousands of years. It is a way for us to convey our deep bond with the animal kingdom and the debt of gratitude that we owe to our fellow creatures.
