The northern naked-tailed armadillo is relatively small for an armadillo, with adults measuring 31 to 42 cm (12 to 17 in) in length, with an 11 to 18 cm (4.3 to 7.1 in) tail, and weighing from 2 to 3.5 kg (4.4 to 7.7 lb). They have a short, broad snout, large, funnel-shaped ears, and small eyes.
Additionally, males and females average 210.9 and 223.8 mm (8.30 and 8.81 in) in tail length, 88 and 93 mm (3.5 and 3.7 in) in tarsal length and 26.3 and 27.5 mm (1.04 and 1.08 in) in culmen length. [3] [4] [5] Hybridization seems to occur in eastern Texas with the eastern red-tailed hawk (B. j. borealis), broadly to the west with B. j. calurus ...
The tail length is usually over three times the body (snout to vent) length in this species. [2] Males and females are similar, males being distinguishable by the presence of pre-anal pores. On average they grow to around 12 cm (4.7 in) snout-to-vent length, with the addition of a distinctive, prehensile long tail. [3]
The baculum is short, [24] 16 to 20 mm (0.63 to 0.79 in), with a thick, straight shaft. Fat is deposited along the spine, kidneys, gut mesentries and around the limbs. The least weasel has muscular anal glands under the tail, which measure 7 by 5 mm (0.28 by 0.20 in), and contain sulphurous volatiles, including thietanes and
The head and body length can be 48 to 79 mm (1.9 to 3.1 in). The tail length, which averages from 80 to 90% of head-body length, ranges from 46 to 67 mm (1.8 to 2.6 in). The long-tailed shrew has a hind foot length of 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in), and can have a total body weight of 3.1 to 8.3 g (0.11 to 0.29 oz). The tail is furry with hair ...
The tail of one randomly selected male within each group was cut to about 14 centimeters (5 inches) in length. Each removed feather was then glued to the corresponding feather of another male, elongating his tail by 20 to 30 centimeters (8 to 12 inches). The two other males in the group served as controls. One had his tail cut and repaired ...
The tail is quite short, amounting to less than 25% of the total length. [5] The dental formula is I 3-3/1-1, C 1-1/1-1, P 3-3/1-1, M 3-3/3-3 = 16/16 = 32. [ 3 ] Three well-developed scent glands are present, one on each side of the animal and one ventral; the scent may be used for marking territories, though the shrew's sense of smell is ...
