Title: needed; diagrams/3d renders/ whatever...
Post by: Xule on 21/07/2007 20:38:12

i've been searching the internet for detailed diagrams of the structures of bats' wings and sharks' skulls [including the jaw, there are millions without]
i can find pictures and such, but nothing is labelled and there is nothing that goes through  the nature of movement in these body parts.

also, i heard that the length of an animals leg bones can indicate how fast or slow it is. is this ture & can someone explain it to me? [???]

Not much detail in this picture, but it's nice.
