The fossa is a carnivore that hunts small to medium-sized animals. One of eight carnivorous species endemic to Madagascar, the fossa is the island's largest surviving endemic terrestrial mammal and the only predator capable of preying upon adults of all extant lemur species , [ 26 ] [ 29 ] the largest of which can weigh as much as 90 percent of ...
The juvenile female fossa's os clitoridis and pseudo-penis shrink as she grows, unlike that of other pseudo-penis species. [ 3 ] The mammalian pseudo-penis appears to be simply for display, though the spotted hyena is an exception: the female spotted hyena urinates, copulates, and gives birth through her pseudo-penis.
The offspring, when birthed, will live in the nest with vegetation until they are independent for about 3–4 weeks. Typically, a mother of the genus Sylvilagus will care for her young and visit the nest twice a day to nurse her offspring. An adult female can also breed up to 3-4 times per season and have roughly 3-4 offspring per litter. [11]
Cottontail rabbits are in the Sylvilagus genus, which is in the Leporidae family. They are found in the Americas . [ 1 ] Most Sylvilagus species have stub tails with white undersides that show when they retreat, giving them their characteristic name.
The fossa of vestibule of vagina (or fossa navicularis) is a boat-shaped depression between the vaginal opening/hymen and the frenulum labiorum pudendi within the vestibule. The small openings of the Bartholin's ducts can be seen in the grooves between the hymen and the labia minora , on either side.
Diagram of a human eye; note that not all eyes have the same anatomy as a human eye. The mammalian eye can also be divided into two main segments: the anterior segment and the posterior segment. [10] The human eye is not a plain sphere but is like two spheres combined, a smaller, more sharply curved one and a larger lesser curved sphere.
In the human skull, the zygomatic bone (from Ancient Greek: ζῠγόν, romanized: zugón, lit. 'yoke'), also called cheekbone or malar bone, is a paired irregular bone, situated at the upper and lateral part of the face and forming part of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit, of the temporal fossa and the infratemporal fossa.
The fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox) is a smaller relative of C. spelea that still survives.. Although some morphological differences between the two fossa species have been described, [17] these may be allometric (growth-related), and in their 1986 Mammalian Species account of the fossa, Michael Köhncke and Klaus Leonhardt wrote that the two were morphologically identical.
