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. vestigial. refers to an organ or part (for example, the human appendix) which is greatly reduced from the original ancestral form and is no longer functional or is of reduced or altered function.
