MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE FEMALE EXTERNAL GENITALIA OF THE MYOCASTOR COYPUS (COYPU)
The aims of this work was realised the morphological study of the female external genitalia of Myocastor coypus. The vulva was rudimentary and limited by two folds scarcely developed. Its external surface showed a cover with scarce and long hairs while the internal surface had a hairy cover and no p...
