Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed examination of the skeletal system of the rarely observed Entenwal, also known as the Hyperoodon rostratus, based on a well-preserved specimen that washed ashore in the late 19th century. While this species belongs to the toothed whale family, it has an array of distinguishing features not found in other whales, which the author thoroughly analyzes. The author sheds light on the Entenwal's unique skull formation and its remarkably developed asymmetrical jaws. Furthermore, the study explores the rarely discussed morphology of the whale's backbone along with its vertebrae, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Entenwal's skeletal anatomy. The author also reflects on broader principles of comparative morphology, particularly as they relate to the evolution of the whale's unique characteristics. This book is a valuable resource for zoologists, comparative anatomists, and marine biologists studying cetacean evolution and adaptation.
