|a CT scans of three snake species from Africa were segmented to compare the lower jaw and maxilla. The CT scans were put into Avizo software, which allows for the visualization of 3D models. Screenshots were taken of the bones in various planes of view to anatomically describe them. This was then compared to other literature about the anatomy and behavior of burrowing asps to make predictions about behavior despite their elusive burrowing habits. The jaws of Atractaspis aterrima and Atractaspis irregularis were very similar with thin, complicated dentary and compound bones containing several projections. Homoroselaps lacteus in comparison had thick, less complicated dentary and compound bones. These differences could be explained by differences in burrowing habits, feeding behavior, or in venom delivery systems. This has yet to be determined conclusively until further research is conducted. |
