To catch their prey more efficiently.
Lions hunt large prey, some of which is much larger than they are. Heavily muscled forelimbs and shoulders add strength for capturing large prey, like wildebeest and Cape buffalo. To do that safely, they have to be able to hold it securely while they kill it, which takes a minute, because they kill by asphyxiation.
Their muscular forelimbs serve many purposes, but the main reason is so they can grab on to their prey and get them onto the ground.

To do that safely, they have to be able to hold it securely while they kill it, which takes a minute, because they kill by asphyxiation. The large muscles in their upper bodies are what give them the ability to wrestle with prey like Cape buffalo.
To help them bring down large prey. Tigers are even more heavily muscled than lions.
The lion has heavy muscled fore limbs, as you see it has to chase animals away from the cubs and also it has to chase animals who are it prey.
A Lion has four limbs (legs) two fore and two hind.
Example of vertebrates (having a spinal column) could be humans, whose fore limbs are arms, as we stand upright. Then there are animals like the horse, whose fore limbs (indeed all four limbs) are actually legs.
The forelimbs of frogs are primarily designed to support the hind limbs during sitting and walking. The back limbs are the ones designed for jumping.
The hind limbs are much longer than the forelimbs, but forelimb to hind limb ratio is quite variable. Toads and toad-like anurans have relatively short hind limbs.
Yes. Echolocation is an adaptation by bats to nocturnal life style. In night eyes becomes almost useless so bats have adapted to themselves to locate the object, by producing sound and listening the echo of sound produced. They have a skin fold developed between thre fore limbs and hind limbs to fly like a bird. Though bat is amammal.

fore legs and hind legs. Fore legs are the two front ones.
Frogs push off their back limbs to jump, which makes them more powerful

The fore limbs are longer, yes.

Well, oxygenated blood from the left ventricleleaves the hearth through the Aorta. It is their where the oxygenated blood in the Artery (only arteries carry oxygenated blood) takes it to the upper/fore limbs (the arms).I hope this helps you. im doing A level Biology. FascinatingJosh

A Tasmanian devil has bilateral symmetry, as usual for mammals. One unusual feature of this animal is an asymmetric running gait. The fore limbs move normally, but the rear limbs don't. The fore and aft motion of the left rear-leg is very noticeably shorter than that of the right - the devil runs as if one leg is injured.
Joint legged animals are also called Arthropods. Here are a few: arachnids Oscorpions daddy-longlegs mites & ticks piders horseshoe crabs centipedes millipedes insects
Yes. A walrus has fore and hind limbs that are modified into flippers. The foreflippers have tiny claws and the hind flippers have large claws on the three middle digits.
The hind limbs are much longer than the forelimbs, but forelimb to hind limb ratio is quite variable. Toads and toad-like anurans have relatively short hind limbs.
