Anatomy of rabbit teeth. The incisors and cheek teeth of rabbits are called aradicular hypsodont teeth. Aradicular teeth never form a true root with an apex, and hypsodont teeth have a high crown to root ratio (providing more room for wear and tear). [4] This is sometimes referred to as an elodont dentition, meaning ever-growing.
Machairodontinae is an extinct subfamily of carnivoran mammals of the family Felidae (true cats). They were found in every continent except for Australia and Antarctica. The earliest species is known from the Middle Miocene, while the latest species Smilodon populator survived up to the Early Holocene (8,200~9,100 years ago).
The lions had numerous dental injuries, including partially broken canine teeth, which allowed layers of hair from their prey to build up over time. For the new study, Gnoske and Kerbis Peterhans ...
The lion is the most social of all wild felid species, living in groups of related individuals with their offspring. Such a group is called a "pride". Groups of male lions are called "coalitions". [97] Females form the stable social unit in a pride and do not tolerate outside females. [98]
Thylacoleonidae is a family of extinct carnivorous diprotodontian marsupials from Australia, referred to as marsupial lions. [2] The best known is Thylacoleo carnifex , also called the marsupial lion. [ 3 ]
The specialised teeth—incisors, canines, premolars, and molars—are found in the same order in every mammal. [6] In many mammals, the infants have a set of teeth that fall out and are replaced by adult teeth. These are called deciduous teeth, primary teeth, baby teeth or milk teeth.
The lion knocked 60-year-old Bergere off her bike and to the ground, clamping his powerful jaws around her face as it settled in for the kill, in the way that mountain lions do: Crushing and ...
