Assessment of Biometric Evaluation of Mandible in Tiger (Panthera tigris)| Chapter 10 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 1

 The present study was projected to keep on record the gross physical features of jaw of tiger (Panthera tigris). It is main to understand that tigers play a essential part in the ecosystem, as they are a hunter at the top of the feeding relationships among organisms: the apex hunter. Tigers (Panthera tigris) have evolved their jaw for predatoriness and deadly bites. They shred their mark's throat accompanying a huge dog, severing the extreme anxiety and blood containers in the process and causing a speedy collapse. Gross anatomical study was administered on mandibles of 5 adult tigers (age more than 8 age) of either sex. It was establish that the mandible was the best and thickest bone of the brain deliberation 350.9gm. It forms the lower jaw in tiger. The jaw was formed of 2 halves that were symmetrical for each other and were melded rostrally by symphysis. Each half was consisted of individual horizontal bar like part, it was flattened mediolaterally and thicker earlier. The different part was vertical, short plate like back border of symphysis was bearing alveoli for dentition. The alveoli of each corner were larger for dog and medial to this 3 narrow alveoli were present on each side for incisors.Only three cheek dentition were present on each side of the dorsal border of the jaw's horizontal portion, that had three alveoli. Large foramina in the jaw and brain were present. The results concerning this study show that the presence of three a hard bony structure in the jaws of vertebrates teeth and a more distinct mandibular angle distinguish the jaw of the tiger from that of the panther on gross morphological and morphometrical traits. . The information acquired in the study would be beneficial for identification of cartilages of tiger and too as an aid in wildlife legal.
