Article Synopsis
- The study examines the oral cavity glands of South African painted dogs and fennec foxes, focusing on their anatomy and histology.
- The research found that while the parotid glands were the largest in both species, significant differences existed in the size, shape, and secretory product composition of the glands between the two canids.
- The findings suggest that despite their shared evolutionary background with other carnivores, the specific structures of these glands vary between the two species, highlighting their adaptation to different ecological niches.
Objectives: The red panda is currently the only surviving member of the Ailuridae family in the Caniformia suborder. In this study, we provide data on anatomical, morphometric, histological and histochemical examination of the orbital region, eyelids, orbital gland, and eye tunics in two adult males Ailurus fulgens fulgens from the Wroclaw Zoological Garden, Poland.
Methods: The study involved morphometric analysis of the eyeball and selected accessory organs of the eye, along with analysis of the bony orbit, including its morphometry, macroscopic, and microscopic evaluation.
The Choloepus didactylus is a species belonging to the Choloepodidae family of the Folivora suborder. This study concerns the anatomical, morphometrical, histological and histochemical examination of the eye tunics, eyelids and orbital glands in the three adult Choloepus didactylus coming from the Wroclaw Zoological Garden. The cornea consists of four layers since Bowman's membrane was absent.
