Insectivora

The Insectivora include several interesting examples of animals which are capable of a certain motion through the air.

This suborder includes all the ordinary Insectivora, such as moles, shrews and hedgehogs.

In the Insectivorous forms the molar teeth are cusped, and resemble those of Insectivora.

The Insectivora are diphyodont and heterodont, having well-developed rooted teeth.

In Insectivora from three to five are united, while in many Chiroptera all the sacral and caudal vertebrae have coalesced.
