| Popis: | The superfacial structures of the tongues in the Manchurian Chipmunk, Tamias sibiricus asiaticus, were observed by scanning electron microscope. The tongues were long, tapering, narrow and thick with a long apical free portion and a small lingual prominence in the posterior half. In this animal, three circumvallate papillae were present in an inverted triangle, a minority of conical papillae on the pharyngeal part and parallel large conical papillae on the lateral border. The fungiform papillae were scanty on the dorsal surface. These characters suggested this animal was more primitive than the others in rodents. |
