Interns have the opportunity to work with marine mammals and learn from activities such as the Shedd Aquarium's sea otter enrichment program. Lives in marshes, swamps, ponds, and lakes. It is not recommended from a conservation aspect, that divers try to catch a lobster by grabbing the antennae. Ancestrally, the malleus and the incus are derived from the articular and the quadrate bones that constituted the jaw joint of early therapsids. [67] Tooth replacement - Teeth are replaced once or (as in toothed whales and murid rodents) not at all, rather than being replaced continually throughout life. [68] Prismatic enamel - The enamel coating on the surface of a tooth consists of prisms, solid, rod-like structures extending from the dentin to the tooth's surface. [69] Occipital condyles - Two knobs at the base of the skull fit into the topmost neck vertebra; most other tetrapods, in contrast, have only one such knob. [70] For the most part, these characteristics were not present in the Triassic ancestors of the mammals. [71] Nearly all mammal groups possess an epipubic bone, the exception being modern placentals.
