Compare the size between hind-limbs and forelimbs?
In most mammals, including humans, hind-limbs are usually larger and more robust than forelimbs. This is because hind-limbs are primarily responsible for supporting the body's weight and providing locomotion, whereas forelimbs are typically used for tasks like manipulating objects or grasping. The size difference helps to distribute weight effectively and facilitate movement.
What are two visible differences between forelimbs and hindlimbs?
Depends on the species, but ... 1) hind limbs tend to be sturdier, longer, stronger. 2) the hind limbs are more firmly attached to the spine (via the pelvis) than are the forelimbs.

Does a stegosaurus walk on four legs?
Yes, Stegosaurus was a quadruped. Their hind limbs were far longer than their forelimbs, which caused early paleontologists to believe that Stegosaurus must have been bipedal. However, modern paleontologists are confident that Stegosaurus was a quadruped.
Why is the hind limbs of a frog more muscular than the fore limbs?

What is the difference between a mammoth and a mastodon?
1. Mastodons had a level back, and mammoths had longer forelimbs than hind limbs, creating raised shoulders. 2. Mammoths had more dramatically curved tusks than mastodons. 3. The tooth shape of a mastodon was much different than that of a mammoth. 4. Mastodons were browsers, and primarily ate spruce leaves. Mammoths were grazers and lived mainly on grass.
