Abstract

aiming at the search of data to the topography of the medullar cone, three adult lesser anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla), all males,  were dissected, which were previously fixed in 10% aqueous formalin solution, and maintained in similar solution. Following skin incision, epiaxial musculature and vertebral arches were removed, in the whole extension of the vertebral column, was observed a very long and thin medullar cone, with his base located at first lumbar vertebra (L1) and the apex between L5 and L6 vertebrae. This Tamandua Tetradactyla presented six lumbar vertebrae.
