Date unknown / Formerly a collection of Department of Medicine, UMUT / UMUT

概要

Birds have lost their teeth in the way of their evolution. Thereafter, the form of their bills is closely related to their food habits. Every specific form of their bills is adapted to their specialized foraging behavior, such as tearing preys, catching fishes, cracking seeds or picking up small animals in mud.
