Care In Starting Of Pragnency(urdu)

Excerpt from book about saber-toothed cats

excerpt from the paperback "saber-toothed cats" of the Wiesbaden science author Ernst Probst:

Machairodus: The saber-toothed cat at Ur Rhein-

In Europe, Asia, Africa and North America lived by the Middle Miocene some 15 million years ago until the end of the Pliocene, some 2.6 million years various kinds of saber-toothed cat Machairodus. It thus has around twelve million
years and thus lasts longer than all other genera of true saber-toothed cats. The geologically recent finds of Machairodus arrived in North Africa (Tunisia) to light.

Machairodus The genus was investigated in 1833 by the zoologist and paleontologist Johann Jakob Kaup
(1803-1873), who worked at the Grand Ducal
natural history collection in Darmstadt,
first described scientifically. He
it had an upper canine pre-set (Fang and canine) from
Eppelsheim at Alzey in Rheinhessen.

The genus name is based on the Greek Machairodus
word "Machaira for a sword-like, in the classical Greece
employed as a butcher knife device and the
"odon" term (secondary form of "Odous") for a tooth. This is, to German
Machairodus about as much as "butcher knife tooth".

For the genus Machairodus krummsäbelige
canines are characteristic finely serrated edges. These edges
used already within a few years. The canines were markedly
Machairodus of the upper jaw
longer than those in the mandible. In contrast to the later occurring dagger-toothed cat Smilodon
wore Machairodus
shorter canines, but the longer were compared to current
big cats. Machairodus is - as mentioned - the saber-toothed cats ("scimitar cats" or "saber-toothed cats") expected.

Kaup has 1832, the saber-toothed cats Machairodus aphanistus
and Machairodus cultridens and the dagger-toothed cat
Paramachairodus ogygius to findings from some ten million
year-old deposits of the ancient Rhine at Eppelsheim
(Kreis Alzey-Worms) described in Rheinhessen. The
belongs there by Fossils surviving animals in the
Vallesian (about 11.1 to 8.7 million years), a period of late Miocene corresponds
that after a typical mammalian fauna
in the Valles Penedes, near Barcelona in Catalonia (Spain)
is designated. The stage was Vallesian 1950 by the English paleontologists
Miguel Crusafont-Pairo (1910 -
1983) suggested. http://www.libri.de
