Grooving was present on posterior edges of crowns or crown- root areas in about 70 percent of the 10 to 15-year-old animals. The low incidence of this groove, only 7 percent, in 16-years-and older canines is because the general area where the groove appears had been completely worn away. Root.

This information is required by bi- ologists to formulate annual management programs to regulate a herd. Under certain circumstances, some information must be obtained by alternate methods.
