There are two subspecies: the Chinese water deer (H. i. inermis) and the Korean water deer (H. i. argyropus).The water deer is superficially more similar to a musk deer than a true deer; despite anatomical peculiarities, including a pair of prominent tusks (downward-pointing canine teeth) and its lack of antlers, it is classified as a cervid.
While the hair was found to be short on the head and the neck, it thickened to woolly hair on the insides of the forelegs and the belly. Studies before 1998 reported a hint of red in the inspected skins. The neck and the belly are a paler shade of brown compared to the rest of the body.
The tiger is the largest carnivorous mammal in Asia. [1] [2]The animals living in Asia and its surrounding seas and islands are considered the fauna of Asia.Since there is no natural biogeographic boundary in the west between Europe and Asia, the term "fauna of Asia" is somewhat elusive but it is a geographical name given.
The mammals include the largest animals on the planet, the rorquals and some other whales, as well as some of the most intelligent, such as elephants, some primates and some cetaceans. The basic body type is a four-legged land-borne animal, but some mammals are adapted for life at sea , in the air, in the trees, or on two legs.
Sinodonty is a particular pattern of teeth characterized by the following features: The upper first incisors and upper second incisors are shovel-shaped, and they are "not aligned with the other teeth". [11] The upper first premolar has one root, and the lower first molar in Sinodonts has three roots (3RM1). [11] [5]
The teeth also are more highly specialized, and show an approach to those of Felidae, although more primitive. The dental formula is 3.1.4.1 3.1.4.2 . The incisors form a transverse, not a curved, line; the first three upper and the four lower pre- molars are compressed and trenchant with a high, sharp, median cusp and small subsidiary cusps in ...
The Asian species may represent a form taxon of improperly developed teeth [43] Ferganasaurus: 2003 Balabansai Formation (Middle Jurassic, Callovian) Kyrgyzstan: Claimed to have two hand claws, but this has been disputed [44] Ferganocephale: 2005 Balabansai Formation (Middle Jurassic, Callovian) Kyrgyzstan: Unusually, its teeth were not ...
