This document is a reply to a previous study by Martínez-Ortíz et al. that examined the rotation of fox skulls when dropped onto a surface. The authors of this reply argue that their own experiment, which involved dropping a Pale fox skull onto snow, is sufficient to explain the initial impact force on the skull. They observed minimal angular change during the fall and burial in the snow, suggesting that rotation is negligible. However, they acknowledge that further investigation is needed to consider factors such as the front paws, soft tissues, and open jaw. [Extracted from the article] |
