Abstract

Marsupials are an infraclass of mammals living primarily in Australasia and the New World. Well-known marsupials include kangaroos, wallabies, koala, possums, opossums, wombats and the Tasmanian devil. Three species, the koala, wombat and wallaby were chosen for this study. Three Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), two wombat (Vombatus ursinus) andthree Grey's wallaby (Macropus greyi) mandibles, were used for this morphometric study. Twelve measurements were taken for each mandible with the aim of evaluating some morphometric parameters in these three species and its clinical implication during regional anesthesia. The craniometric measurements were taken using a normal caliper. Photographs were taken by a Samsung digital camera WB 700. Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (2005) was utilized for de- nominating the anatomical terms in the study. The results were supported by 9 Figures and 2 Tables.
