CLASS MAMMALS: OEDEE CABNIVOEA.

oped, they are organ- 

 ized for slaughter. 

 Among their ana- 

 tomical peculiarities 

 are: (1), their denti- 

 tion, marked by long, 

 sharp canine teeth, 

 and a molar on each 

 side, above and below, 

 larger and sharper 

 than the others, 

 known as the "car- 

 nivorous tooth," and 

 used for crushing 

 bones ; and (2), their 

 feet, which are pro- 

 vided with toes and 

 often armed with 

 claws. The differ- 

 ence in these physi- 

 cal features affords 

 the basis of a classifi- 

 cation.
