There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Could you measure the mandible length? Measure it first by choosing one side. Stick the measuring tape to the symphysis (tip of mandible) and keeping the tape in contact with the mandible, measure up to the furthest point at the back of the mandible. This will be one measurement.

The other measurement I'm looking for is the mandible as a whole. Measure the mandible from the symphysis to further point, but keep the tape in the middle of the jaw rather than running it parallel to one side. 

Here's a pictorial representation of the measurement. Follow the lines to as far of the mandible as possible.

Many thanks!

Hi @tigerluver

I just gave it a measure and it is 220mm down the central point and 230mm along the edge of the mandible.

I hope that helps.
