4. Lowchen ($5,000 to $8,000) LÃ¶wchen means âlittle lionâ in German, a fitting name for this small dog with an impressive mane of hair and talent for agility. The breed is often given a âlionâ trim, too: clipped close to the skin at the hindquarters, with cuffs of hair around the ankles and a plumed tail.
Vestigial describes an organ or body part that continues to exist without retaining its original function, such as our appendix. It's most often used in biology to describe something that either didn't finish developing or has become, through evolution, pretty much useless.
Vestigial organs/limbs mean that there was an ancestor of the creature that once had non-vestigial, usable organs/limbs. This implys that the creature evolved from something tâ¦hat once needed such organs/limbs to survive, but now the species no longer needs the vestigial organ/limbs and it has lost it's use/size.
