Correlation of relative muzzle width and relative incisor width with dietary preference in ungulates - JANIS - 2008 - Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society - Wiley Online Library

Correlation of relative muzzle width and relative incisor width with dietary preference in ungulates - JANIS - 2008 - Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society - Wiley Online Library: "Qualitative observations suggest that grazing ungulates have relatively broader muzzles than browsing ones, and that grazers have incisors that are all of a similar size, as opposed to the large central and smaller lateral incisors seen in browsers. These differences may be correlated respectively with the need for grazing ungulates to maintain a large daily intake, or for browsing ungulates to forage selectively in a stand of vegetation."
