Spotted+fixed typo on 'digasticus' muscle in Carnivore difference section
Line 47: Line 47:     
===Carnivores===
 
===Carnivores===
Carnivores have a large '''temporalis''' muscle for snapping the jaw shut, e.g. in lions and pitbull terriers. Canids have a larger '''digasticus''' muscle than herbivores (but smaller in comparison with jaw closing muscles). In the dog, large forces are needed to shut the jaws, so the point of articulation of the '''temporomandibular joint''' is level with the teeth.
