Characterization of the Uterus and Mammary Glands of the Female African Giant Rats (Cricetomys gambianus, Waterhouse) in Nigeria

Morphology of the uterus and mammary glands were studied in sexually matured female African giant rat. The uterus was identified as being duplex, having two separate uterine horns and two cervices. The two cervices were partially fused and separated by a mid-saggital septum. Their thick musculatures...
