Anatomical structure of the skull of a Himalayan bear (Ursus thibetanus)

Abstract

Unfortunately, extremely insufficient attention is paid to the anatomy of wild animals in modern morphology. Among the available literature, we were able to find only one source that describes the anatomy of a Himalayan bear. The purpose of our work was to study the structure of the skull of a Himalayan bear. Osteological preparations made by us independently were used for the work. As a result of the work carried out, we were able to establish the characteristic features of the brown bear in the structure of both the facial and cerebral parts of the skull, and individual bones that are part of these departments. The information we have obtained can be used when writing the relevant sections of textbooks on the anatomy of wild animals.
