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 means that it is a part that was functional in ones ancestors but no longer has a purpose but yet still exists. The coccyx is the last few bones of the spine that â¦ are located in the buttocks below the pelvis. In human ancestors they were part of the tail but they serve no known function now.
