She should be able to tell you, by reading its teeth and its guts, what it fed on. Flat, millstone teeth indicate that it was a herbivore; sharp, shearing teeth that it was a carnivore. Long intestines with complicated blind alleys indicate that it was a herbivore; short, simple guts suggest a carnivore. By reading the animal's feet, and its eyes and other sense organs, the zoologist should be able to tell how it found its food. By reading its stripes or flashes, its horns, antlers or crests, she should be able to tell something about its social and sex life.1 Deborah Charles Publications, 1992 Law and Critique Kluwer Academic Publishers 3/1(1992-03-01), 99-142 0957-8536 3:1<99 1992 3 10978 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01128245 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01128245 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Gibson Suzanne New College, OX1 3BN, Oxford aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Law and Critique Kluwer Academic Publishers 3/1(1992-03-01), 99-142 0957-8536 3:1<99 1992 3 10978 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
