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.


Do terrestrial animals have limbs to move?

Yes, most terrestrial animals have limbs to move on land. Limbs provide support and facilitate locomotion, helping animals navigate their environment and perform essential activities like hunting, feeding, and fleeing from predators. The structure and function of limbs can vary greatly across different species, allowing for a diverse range of movement adaptations.

How comparative morphology support theory of evolution?

Look to the morphologies of all mammals and see rather easily how closely related they are in comparison to the more distantly related morphologies of all reptiles. Ancestral traits, such as tetropodal arrangement of limbs and then derived differences between mammals and reptiles. Reptiles having scales and mammals having hair.
