RETURNING to this Post Again -
I Find IT IS REALY Interesting
as
* the area behind the FRONT KNEES
Extends UP & OUTWARD - HUMMM
* again somewhat - behind the ANKLE

Quite different from the Rear Legs

IT Makes me think ,
WHAT'S THAT FOR
as I can't figure in any Major Mussles located from OFF of there -& That Skin Area is kind of like that of a BATS WINGS or A FLYING SQUIRRELS with the SKIN AREAS so Elastic - - - I KNOW #%^ +*?^

Anyway THE SKELETON Certainly is
A MAGNIFICENT ENGINERING STRUCTURE
so Simple & Streamlined for such
A Large, Strong & Agile Animal

YET MINUS ANYTHING FOR THE OTHER

SO DOMINATE FACTORS

" THE EARS & of course THE TRUNK "
