The socket is shallow and dislocation is easy and frequent. This should be compared with the badger where the groove is more complete and dislocation is impossible unless a fracture occurs

Anatomy Bone Bones Jaws Mouths Skeleton Skeletons Skull Skulls Teeth

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Henwood, we delve into the fascinating world of canine anatomy. Zooming in on HEN-15, we witness an extraordinary close-up view showcasing the intricate articulation between a dog's lower jaw and its skull. Prepare to be amazed as you discover that dogs possess a shallow socket for their lower jaw, making dislocation all too easy and frequent! It seems our furry friends have quite a talent for popping their jaws out of place with ease. But hold your horses – let's compare this to another critter! Enter the badger, where things take an unexpected twist. Unlike our mischievous canines, badgers boast a more complete groove connecting their lower jaw to the skull. This means that unless they experience a bone-cracking fracture (ouch!), dislocation is simply impossible for these resilient creatures. As we marvel at this stunning snapshot of mammalian anatomy, it becomes clear that nature has bestowed each species with its own peculiar quirks. From mouths filled with teeth ready for mischief to heads housing these remarkable skeletal structures – every detail tells a unique story. So next time you find yourself pondering over your pet pooch or admiring wildlife wonders like John Henwood does so brilliantly through his lens, remember: even skulls have tales to tell!
