Similar cases of sutural persistence in the parietal region of the cra
nia of two roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), a Northern Pudu (Pudu mephi
stophiles) and an axis deer (Axis axis) are described. In all four spe
cimens, the interparietal suture and one of the two interparietopariet
al sutures remained open, whereas the contralateral sutura interpariet
oparietalis and the sutura interinterparietalis were closed.
