A relationship based on 27 populations of tiger muskie from 9 states was used to develop a specific equation for tiger muskie and computed that c = 0.00008035 and b = 3.337. [15] This relationship predicts that a 84 cm (33 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 4.5 kg (10 lb) , and a 120 cm (47 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 14 kg (30 lb).
A muskie will have seven or more per side, while the northern pike never has more than six. The lobes of the caudal (tail) fin in muskellunge come to a sharper point, while those of northern pike are more generally rounded. In addition, unlike pike, muskies have no scales on the lower half of their opercula. [citation needed]
An African elephant in Tanzania, with visible tusks. Tusks are elongated, continuously growing front teeth that protrude well beyond the mouth of certain mammal species. They are most commonly canine teeth, as with narwhals, chevrotains, musk deer, water deer, muntjac, pigs, peccaries, hippopotamuses and walruses, or, in the case of elephants, elongated incisors.
The Bengal tiger and the Indian elephant are endangered species which are protected by Project Tiger and Project Elephant programmes run by Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. [1] [2] [3] Indian Leopards are vulnerable and protected species. [4] The tiger numbers are of animals aged above 1.5 years. [5] [6]
Over time, different mammal groups have evolved distinct dental features, both in the number and type of teeth and in the shape and size of the chewing surface. [9] The number of teeth of each type is written as a dental formula for one side of the mouth, or quadrant, with the upper and lower teeth shown on separate rows. The number of teeth in ...
In later elephantids, these lophs became narrow lamellae, [7] with the number of lophs/lamellae per tooth, as well as the tooth crown height increasing over time. [8] Elephantids chew using a proal jaw movement involving a forward stroke of the lower jaws, different from the oblique movement using side to side motion of the jaws in more ...
By age five, all permanent teeth have usually erupted. The horse is then said to have a "full" mouth. After the age of five, age can only be conjectured by study of the wear patterns on the incisors, shape, the angle at which the incisors meet, and other factors. The wear of teeth may also be affected by diet, natural abnormalities, and ...
Size comparison between a human and two species of Basilosaurus, B. cetiodes (dark blue) and B. isis The heaviest archeocete , and possibly the heaviest known mammal was Perucetus , with weight estimated at 85–340 t (84–335 long tons; 94–375 short tons), while length is estimated at 17.0–20.1 meters (55.8–65.9 ft), [ 107 ] possibly ...
