Discussion

  • Males are assumed to differ from females by E_Hp only

Facts

  • Ovoviviparous, young feed on maternal glandular secretions, scraping the inside of the oviduct (Ref: Wiki)
  • Two vesiculous gills are present at the back of the dorsum of the head at birth; these fall off 24-48 h after birth and leave-a white scar that fades after some weeks (Ref: ExbrDels1985)
