Hind Legs of Different Mammals (Mammalia) 005-1021042

Included are four real bone specimens: the hind leg of a dog and the hind foot of a horse, a cow and a pig respectively, as well as an original plastic cast of a human foot.

The dissected real limbs enable scientifc comparison of the anatomy of the front or rear legs of selected mammals and allow conclusions to be drawn about their walking and running behaviour. In order to be able to compare human with animal, an original plastic cast of a human hand or human foot is included in each case. This makes it possible to explain clearly e.g. the difference between plantigrades, digitigrades and unguligrades. The individual limbs are supplied as separate items and must be mounted on a wooden base. Assembly instructions are included.

The Hind Legs of Different Mammals (Mammalia) Specimen (005-1021042) is a comparative anatomical set designed to illustrate the skeletal structure and adaptations of mammalian hind limbs. This preparation highlights differences in bone arrangement, joint structure, and overall morphology, allowing for direct comparison between various mammal species.

Ideal for veterinary training, zoology, biology classrooms, and comparative anatomy education, this set helps learners explore functional adaptations in locomotion, posture, and weight-bearing across mammals. By studying these variations, students gain valuable insights into evolutionary biology and musculoskeletal specialization.

Durable and professionally prepared, the Hind Legs of Different Mammals Specimen is a valuable teaching and research tool for universities, veterinary schools, and natural science collections.
