Chimpanzee skull. Coloured X-ray of a side view of a chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) skull. The cranium (upper right) is considerably smaller than in humans. It consists of many spongy bones (centre right) fused at sutures. A prominent brow ridge (upper left) is present above the eyes. The large lower jawbone (mandible, lower left) contains flat molar teeth and is attached to powerful chewing muscles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a chimpanzee skull, captured through an X-ray imaging technique. The image provides a side view of the skull belonging to a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), one of our closest primate relatives in the animal kingdom. Upon closer examination, we notice that the cranium, located in the upper right portion of the image, is notably smaller compared to that of humans. Composed of several spongy bones fused at sutures, it highlights unique characteristics specific to this species. The photograph also draws attention to a prominent brow ridge positioned above its eyes on the upper left side. This feature adds depth and dimension to its facial structure while representing an evolutionary distinction from human anatomy. Furthermore, we observe the large lower jawbone or mandible on the lower left corner. Equipped with flat molar teeth and connected to powerful chewing muscles, it serves as a testament to their dietary habits and adaptations for survival in their natural habitat. Through vibrant coloring techniques employed during radiography, this false-colored X-ray brings forth not only scientific insights but also artistic allure. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both biological intricacies and aesthetic beauty found within nature's creations. Captured by Science Photo Library – renowned for their exceptional visual documentation – this mesmerizing print invites us into the fascinating world of zoology and mammalian biology while celebrating wildlife diversity.
