SKULL OF A LLAMA (Camel of America).
The skull of the Llama resembles that of the Camel, and both differ from those of the other ruminants in having incisor teeth in the upper jaw. “These teeth are placed at the side of the intermaxillary bone close to the canines, and agree with them in form” (Van der Hoven, vol. ii., 644).
“There are six incisors only in the lower jaw, and this jaw is undivided.”
The camels and llamas form transition species between horses and oxen (ruminants and solid-ungulates).
