Why the pelvic bones of a four legged animal such as the cat or pig are much less massive than those of the humans?
The reason the pelvic bones, or the hip bones, of a four legged animal are less massive than those of a human is because in humans all of their weight is concentrated onto that one area of the body, and only onto two legs. But in four legged animals there are four legs to distribute the weight onto, thus the hip bone does not need to be as strong.
