Morphology of the cloaca in the estuarine crocodile, Crocodylus porosus, and its plastic response to salinity.

abstract：:The vascular system of the digits of the tokay is more complex than has hitherto been suspected and has a configuration which suggests it is intimately involved in the process of adhesion. Distinction can be made between lamellae (expanded scales beneath the proximal portion of the digit) and scansors (elaborations of...
