| In this position the gorilla's weight-line falls between the forelimbs and the hind limbs. |
|
| Caudipteryx has short forelimbs and a feathered manus and is likely to have been a secondarily flightless bird. |
|
| Specializations for land walking are mainly found in the forelimbs, including a ball-and-socket joint in the shoulder, like that of mammals. |
|
| Shovel-nosed frogs are smooth-skinned and small, with short, stout forelimbs and small heads with pointy snouts. |
|
| Many carnosaurs have fairly good-sized forelimbs, unlike the Tyrannosauridae. |
|
| Each beast had two short, stubby forelimbs and two powerful, three toed hind legs. |
|
| The limbs are long, and the hindlimbs are longer than forelimbs and in most are well adapted for running. |
|
| At slow speed, macropodids land on their forelimbs and tail, while swinging their hindlimbs forward. |
|
| The forelimbs and hindlimbs of vertebrates arise at precise positions along the antero-posterior axis of the body. |
|
| The interclavicle is absent and the forelimbs are usually markedly shorter than the hindlimbs. |
|
| Also, dinosaurs have exactly the wrong anatomy for developing flight, with their large tails and hindlimbs and short forelimbs. |
|
| They were clearly active hunters, and the hindlimbs were much larger than the forelimbs. |
|
| But the creature's most unusual feature was a set of long, asymmetric feathers with hooked barbs on its hind limbs and forelimbs. |
|
| Modern sirenians are large, docile, aquatic herbivores that have flippers for forelimbs and no hind limbs. |
|
| Short but deep jaws with banana-sized sharp teeth, long hind limbs, small beady eyes, and tiny forelimbs typify a tyrannosaur. |
|
| Their stream-lined bodies entirely lack hindlimbs, their forelimbs are reduced, they have lidless eyes, and large external gills and gill slits. |
|
| Feathers could have elongated on the forelimbs and lateral margins of the elongated tail in connection with leaping and parachuting out of trees. |
|
| The hind limbs of galagos are longer than their forelimbs, which makes them very adept at leaping. |
|
| Next he restrained the monkeys' healthy forelimbs, compelling them to reuse the deafferented limbs, which they otherwise avoided doing. |
|
| Flapping flight is distinguished from gliding by synchronous oscillations of the forelimbs. |
|
|
|
| With a mouthful of this murderous fruitlike dentition, tyrannosaurs had a whopping bite, which might have made up for their reduced forelimbs. |
|
| Yet the bizarre Mononykus had tiny forelimbs with a single digit and was obviously flightless. |
|
| The forelimbs are to the left, and are cocked back, elbows high, with the forepaws tucked under the chest. |
|
| Crab spiders do not build webs but ambush pollinating insects on flowers with their raptorial forelimbs. |
|
| The forelimbs are smaller than the hindlimbs, but the disparity in size is not as great as in kangaroos and wallabies. |
|
| Besides having forelimbs that resemble the wings of modern birds, the animal sported long feathers from thigh to foot on each hind limb. |
|
| Some apes started walking on hind legs, employing their forelimbs as hands for holding and shaping tools. |
|
| The habit of felids to use primarily their forelimbs to capture prey is supported by the anatomy and function of their retractile claws. |
|
| Bipedality freed the forelimbs and allowed development of the hands as highly specialized appendages with great dexterity. |
|
| Named Akidolestes, the extinct animal had jaws, teeth, and forelimbs that identify it as a close relative of modern placental and marsupial mammals. |
|
| The pig parts vary somewhat between burials, although there is a definite preference for forelimbs or forequarters with or without elements of a head. |
|
| Carapace width does not vary within a molt and is proportional to the length of the males' raptorial forelimbs, which they use in attacking other males. |
|
| Within the theropods lineage leading to birds, the forelimbs lengthened in proportion to the hindlimbs, and the hand elongated in relation to the rest of the forelimb. |
|
| The wings of birds, forelimbs of a lizard and human arms are homologies, because they are all derived from the same primitive structure in the common ancestor of these groups. |
|
| The forelimbs are specialized to form flippers, and the hind limbs and pelvis are extremely small and do not normally extend out of the body wall of the animal. |
|
| Does the discovery of asymmetrical flight feathers on the forelimbs and hind limbs of dromaeosaurs affect the debate about the evolution of avian flight. |
|
| It would require a sudden transformation of forelimbs from a retractive, terrestrial, weight-bearing stroke to a depressive, protractive, aerial, thrust-generating stroke. |
|
| They are adapted for leaping, with hind limbs much longer than forelimbs. |
|
| With baboons the forelimbs and hindlimbs are both rather leg-like, and support the animal as it moves quadrupedally over the ground, rather like a dog. |
|
| Velociraptors, which lived 70-80 million years ago, could not fly because of their weight and short forelimbs. |
|
|
|
| In this way, it has been suggested that some pterosaurs, when on the ground, used their forelimbs in an unexpected quadrupedal action. |
|
| They compared the forces experienced by the pectoral fins of the mudskipper fishes to the forelimbs and hind limbs of walking tiger salamanders. |
|
| Brown bears have very large and curved claws, those present on the forelimbs being longer than those on the hind limbs. |
|
| They have powerful raptorial forelimbs used for grasping prey during capture and while feeding. |
|
| For bat embryos, apoptosis only affects the hindlimbs, while the forelimbs retain webbing between the digits which form into the wing membranes. |
|
| Killer whale pectoral fins, analogous to forelimbs, are large and rounded, resembling paddles. |
|
| Eight formalin fixed rhesus monkey forelimbs were dissected. |
|
| The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals in the world naturally capable of flight. |
|
| Edwards accurately described neonate Mexican ground squirrels as pink, blind, hairless, and marked by vibrissae and comparatively well-developed forelimbs. |
|
| They have a streamlined shape, and their forelimbs are flippers. |
