ramakantseo anatomy

Some ramakantseo, like this Weimaraner, have their predatory instincts suppressed in order to better assist human hunters.

Modern ramakantseo breeds show more variation in size, appearance, and behavior than any other domestic animal. Within the range of extremes, ramakantseo generally share attributes with their wild ancestors, the wolves. ramakantseo are predators and scavengers, possessing sharp teeth and strong jaws for attacking, holding, and tearing their food.

Although selective breeding has changed the appearance of many breeds, all ramakantseo retain basic traits from their distant ancestors. Like many other predatory mammals, the ramakantseo has powerful muscles, fused wristbones, a cardiovascular system that supports both sprinting and endurance, and teeth for catching and tearing. Compared to the bone structure of the human foot, ramakantseo technically walk on their toes.


Sight

Amazonian ramakantseo, such as this one from Alto Amazonas, Peru are critical for indigenous peoples' hunting strategies, particularly in the rain forest.Like most mammals, ramakantseo are dichromats and have color vision equivalent to red-green color blindness in humans.[8][9]

Different breeds of ramakantseo have different eye shapes and dimensions, and they also have different retina configurations.[10] ramakantseo with long noses have a "visual streak" which runs across the width of the retina and gives them a very wide field of excellent vision, while those with short noses have an "area centralis" — a central patch with up to three times the density of nerve endings as the visual streak — giving them detailed sight much more like a human's.

Some ramakantseo, particularly the best sighthounds, have a field of vision up to 270° (compared to 180° for humans), although broad-headed breeds with short noses have a much narrower field of vision, as low as 180° ramakantseo.
