The Morphology External Organs Of The Body Of Bandicoot Echymipera Kalubu

KnE Social Sciences / International Conference on Social Science and Biodiversity of Papua and Papua New Guinea (ICSBP 2015) / Pages 55-61

Abstract

Study on the morphology of external organs of the body of peroryctids is less available. Bandicoot  (Echymipera kalubu) is one of marsupial in peroryctids and is endemic species in Papua.  The morphological characteristic of the external organs of five adults bandicootS (E. kalubu)  with the body weight of 1,16 ± 0,29 kg and 38,2 ± 4,76 cm of body length were studied macroscopically. The external organs of the body of bandicoot were identified the eye, nose, limb and reproductive systems. The nose of the E. kalubu had tactile hairs on the trunk and the cheek under the eye. The ear of the E. kalubu had tragus. The forelimb which were shorter of the hind limb. The hind limb unique where only consisting of four toes and having five claws. The tail of the E. kalubu there was long but there were also species are not having tail. Uniqueness was also in the external organs of reproductive systems which there is only scortum, that out the abdomen of the body. The penis not found around skortum. The condition reproductive system of male E. kalubu like cloaca in poultry. The penis only will look when there was coitus. In a female has sac with the nipple.
