“…One of the most important observations of this study was the presence of an utterly bony orbit. This result has not been seen in any other carnivore except the Egyptian mongoose (Samuel et al, 2016). In other carnivores studies, an orbital ligament forms the posterior edge of the orbit (Singh, 2018).…”

Mongooses are some of the small carnivores that occupy a wide range of habitats, from deserts to subtropical forests, across their natural range in Africa and Asia. The Indian grey mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii) is a species found in southern Asia, particularly India, Pakistan and Iran (Kamali et al., 2015). The Indian grey mongoose has five toes with retractable claws and a robust tapered tail, and the males are larger than females, significantly. This species belongs to the family Herpestidae and the superorder to Feliforma, but is much more agile, faster and predator than a domestic cat. Due to the high reproduction of this animal, there is the least concern about the risk of its extinction .The skull forms the head skeleton, protecting the brain, eyes and ears, besides housing teeth (König & Leibich, 2020;Mohamed, 2019).At the same time, the difference in the skull and mandible in terms

“…This is related to the diverse eating habits of different species. Egyptian mongoose feeds mostly on small lizards, frogs, coastal invertebrates and Indian grey mongoose feed on birds, eggs and rodents (Rasouli et al, 2020; Samuel et al, 2016).…”

“…On perusal of literature, the description and metric measurements of the body morphology (Atay and Yesiloglu, 2012), cranial morphology (Goswami et al, 2011), morphometry of skull (Samuel et al, 2016), functional anatomy of hindlimbs (Taylor, 1976) was available. Smits and Evans, (2012) revealed the morphology of the teeth of these animals through 3D reconstruction based on MDCT images.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction obtained by using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images have widely been used in anatomical studies. Thorax is one of the most important body cavities necessary for the protection of lungs and heart in mammals. Two adult mongooses (1 male, 1 female) obtained from traffic accidents were used in this study. The images obtained from MDCT were stacked and 3D reconstruction of thorax was performed by overlaying images using a 3D modeling software (Mimics 13.1). Some measurements of thoracic cavity, lungs and sternum were taken from the reconstructive images of mongoose and indexes were calculated from these measurements. The morphometric parameters were recorded for both sexes. From the study, it could be concluded that the thoracic cavity, lungs and sternum imagings and findings revealed by 3D modeling techniques can be utilized for anatomical training of wild animals. This study is expected to help in the diagnosis and treatment of thorax diseases in wild animals.
