Common name

In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is often based in Latin.

See Galidiinae and Common name

Dentition

Dentition pertains to the development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth.

See Galidiinae and Dentition

Durrell's vontsira

Durrell's vontsira (Salanoia durrelli) is a small, reddish-brown, fox-like mammal native to the island of Madagascar. Galidiinae and Durrell's vontsira are euplerids.
