are there any pic examples i could use for a vestigial structure other than wisdom teeth and tail bone?
[those pics are kind of disturbing]
thanks :]

send the link if you find anything :}}
 
Appendix is an organ formerly used to digest plant matter. Since we developed better teeth and started hunting we found much better sources of energy than plant matter, so the appendix started becoming defunct and is now useless (but still grows there).

Of course, this image is going to be just as weird as your other two choices (Wisdom Teeth and Tailbones).

Oh, and this cat has vestigial wings... it's sure disturbing but at least it's cute... http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/zoneviii/Winged_cat.jpg
