| Abstract | ||||
| In donkey the incisors have occlusal surfaces which are represented by sharp edges in buffalo and blunt edges in camel. In all examined species the roots of the incisors are convergent, but the degree of the convergence in camel is more than that in donkey and buffalo. The incisors decrease in length from number 1 to 3 in donkey but increase in camel. In buffalo the first three incisors are nearly equal in length. In buffalo and camel the cheek teeth increase in length and breadth from front to back. In donkey P4 is the longest cheek tooth. In gneral, the cheek teeth terminate p < /strong>roximal to the mandibular canal either directly in camel or by a variable distances in donkey. However, in buffalo the cheek teeth cover the lateral asp < /strong>ect of th canal either partially or completely. | ||||
