Title: Question?
Post by: Fell on January 19, 2007, 10:38:01 PM

Sorry for this, but what's the term for a leg formed like an animal's as opposed to a leg formed like a human's? With the extended foot bone and shortened thigh bone, built to walk on its toes? A ______ structure, I believe.... Anyway, does anyone know? Thanks!  :upupdi3:

No... Any number of joints would apply to any mammal. We're all built along the same basic lines, after all, and cats and dogs don't have any more joints then we do. : P
