Dibothriocephalus 🔍

The term "Dibothriocephalus" refers to a species of mammal that belongs to the order Carnivora, specifically the family Cervidae. These mammals are known for their large size and ability to climb trees or other obstacles. They have a distinctive feature called a "dibothiocephalon," which is a thick layer of fur covering their heads and body. This characteristic helps them in finding food hiding in the underbrush, as well as protecting them from predators
