Description
*BIONERD ALERT*
The third tutorial in the tutorial series about Felines & Canines. This time quite in depth. I have tried to explain most of the technical terms, but if there are any terms or muscle/bone names that you don't know, just look them up on wikipedia/google or ask me in a comment ^^. Also - keep in mind that there are many muscle-charts and sometimes even mounted skeletons that are quite off. I have used mostly verterinary books, life references (and X-rays), two good anatomy books for artists as references (see below) and my biology study-books. Anyway - I hope that this is helpful!
See here the other tutorials in the series
- Felines vs Canines - general morphology
- Felines vs Canines tutorial morphological details
I really recomment the following book if you want to study non-human animal anatomy in detail:
- An Atlas of Animal Anatomy by W.Ellenberger, H.Dittrich and H.Baum.
- Animal Anatomy for Artists - Elements of Form by Eliot Goldfinger
I would also recommend to visit your local university library and search for veterinary anatomy books. These tend to be very accurate.

And this! This! Ahhhhhh, the bionerd in me celebrating. What I especially love is how you explained the morphological and anatomical features in relation to their evolution and way of life. I mean, of course it is related, of course it is all determined by evolution, but it's really, REALLY awesome to see it in practice and examples. Also even better with my own biology knowledge to read through all of this because I'm pretty sure I can read more - a lot of things you have only brushed upon or don't even mention.
Anyway, this was really awesome to read!
Yay for skulls, bones and muscles, AAAAAAAAAAA!!!Β

No species is supreme over any other. Please show some respect.

Yeah thanks! I really agree- I really likes studying functional morphology and find this also the most interesting part. I'm still considering a more in-depth study of siderian anatomy (or maybe leopard for more general use...but siderian would be most useful for me) that I might share here. My idea is to make yet another muscle chart with all the individual muscle attachment, different angles of limbs and stuff and an in depth study of siderian paws...because that is complicated

This is fantastic! Going to be a great help for me!

You should send this to the Phylogeny Explorer Project.

I can hardly wait for the tutorial series, spinoffs of Felines vs. Canines, are like Bears vs. Hyaenas, Mongooses vs. Mustelids, Procyonids vs. Viverrids, and Euplerids vs. Pinnipeds. What's a bionerd?

I haven't planned to do all the carnivores (since this takes huge amounts of time to make) but I did think of a short to-the-point tutorial about the differences between canines and hyaenas.
Also - a bionerd is a nerd in the field of biology ^^
