                    Figure 26-7  •  The ears of a rabbit, or more specifi cally their
                    skinfolds and associated auricular cartilages, may mimic fractures
                    when superimposed on the cranium, face, or jaws.









































                    Figure 26-8  •  Coxal joints of an immature rabbit show centrally peaked, proximal femoral growth plates that, along with deep femoral
                    fossae, create the illusion of a bipartite femoral head. Note the open growth plate traversing the central acetabulum.
