Gross Morphological and Sex Wise Morphometrical Studies on the First and Second Coccygeal Vertebrae of Blue Bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus)

Gross morphological and sex wise morphometrical studies on the tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth thoracic vertebrae of Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus)

“…The massive body of the Blue bull can be attributed to the large skeleton of the antelope. Further, the skeleton comprises of large and massive bones of axial and appendicular skeleton that not only protects the viscera, but also provides shape and support to the heavy musculature of the Blue bull (Sathapathy et al, 2018c andSathapathy et al, 2018d). The present osteological study will furnish baseline data on the tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth thoracic vertebrae of adult Blue bull that would immensely help the wild life anatomists and Veterinarians in species identification and solving forensic and vetero-legal cases.…”

Gross Morphological and Sex Wise Morphometrical Studies on Mandible of Adult Blue Bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus)

“…The Blue bull is quite prevalent in northern and central parts of India especially in the foothills of Himalayas, eastern part of Pakistan and southern part of Nepal, but has vanished from Bangladesh (Sathapathy et al, 2019a, Sathapathy et al, 2019band Sathapathy et al, 2019c. The adult male of the Blue bull appears like ox and so called as Blue bull (Sathapathy et al, 2019d andSathapathy et al, 2019e). They are generally seen in day times in the meadow pasture, timberland areas and agricultural land area (Sathapathy et al, 2019f andSathapathy et al, 2019h).…”
