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 total length of the body (also bill-to-tail length) of a bird is usually measured from dead specimens before being skinned for preservation. The measurement is made by laying the bird on its back, stretching out the neck, making the beak point forward, and measuring between the tip of the bill and the tip of the tail.
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 ...
Scolopendra mutilans, formerly a subspecies of S. subspinipes. Scolopendra japonica, another former subspecies that has since been elevated to species status.. The species is normally considered to have a maximum length of 20 cm. [3] However, in 2018 a far larger specimen was recovered in Hawaii by Clayton Cambra, who captured what appeared to be a Scolopendra subspinipes that measured 36.6 cm ...
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
Males have tails that thicken past the vent and are generally thicker than the female's down the entire length of the tail. The light stripes on the length of the body are yellower than the female's, which are more cream coloured. [5] They grow up to 12 inches (30 cm.) long, with the tail usually being three times their body length. [6]
The extreme tail length, slightly to greatly exceeding that of other Aquila, is in males from 352 to 479 mm (13.9 to 18.9 in), averaging 370 mm (15 in) in the Nullarbor eagles and 421.2 mm (16.58 in) in Tasmania, and from 376 to 536 mm (14.8 to 21.1 in), averaging 410 mm (16 in) in Nullarbor and 448.9 mm (17.67 in) in Tasmania.
Wingspans in this subspecies can vary from 131 to 168 cm (4 ft 4 in to 5 ft 6 in), averaging about 154.1 cm (5 ft 1 in). Among standard measurements of B. b. hispanus, the tail is 23 to 31 cm (9.1 to 12.2 in), the total bill length is 38.9 to 54.3 mm (1.53 to 2.14 in) and the tarsus is 64.5 to 81 mm (2
