Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) progresses slowly—~1mm/3 years per new histo analysis. Despite neurological risks, HFI doesn’t show faster bone growth, just steady accumulation. Early detection could enable timely intervention

Rabbits and hares (leporid lagomorphs) have uniquely fenestrated skulls, but why? Using finite element analysis, a new study found that fenestrations don’t impact biting efficiency but may lighten the skull for agility.
