What does GULAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
zoology
Relating to, or located on, the throat of an animal, especially the throat region of a bird, reptile, or fish.
Zoologists use gular to describe features found on the underside of the neck in many vertebrates, such as the gular scale that covers part of a turtle's shell near the head or the gular pouch that pelicans and frigatebirds inflate to display or to hold fish. In frogs and lizards, the gular region often expands and contracts visibly during breathing or courtship display. The term comes from the Latin word for throat and is used almost exclusively in scientific description rather than everyday speech.
How GULAR is used
A technical adjective used mainly in zoology and anatomy to describe throat-related structures in animals.
