Fig 5. Tapir tooth dimensions.

Fig 5

Mean (± SD) (A) length of individual teeth of the maxillary and mandibular cheek tooth row in relation to the total length of both rows combined (100% = length of maxillary + mandibular cheek tooth row). T. terrestris (n = 13), T. bairdii (n = 4), T. indicus (n = 2); (B) relative width of the anterior and posterior lophs of individual teeth in relation to the width of the anterior loph of the M2 (which is set at 100%). The maxillary tooth row is illustrated with a darker shade, compared to the mandibular, overlying tooth row. There is no P1. P1 only has one loph. Note that in all cases, maxillary teeth are wider than mandibular ones. T. terrestris (n = 17), T. bairdii (n = 6), T. indicus (n = 3).
