Cats and pigs don't have a nuchal ligament. The nuchal ligament is an adaptation common in fast running animals (to keep the head study while running) as well as to support longer necks. Humans and horses have nuchal ligament
A horse's Check Ligament runs along the back of the leg and is most frequently injured when a horse lands a jump or steps wrong resulting in a strain of the ligament.
The ligaments in the hip joint include the iliofemoral ligament, pubofemoral ligament, ischiofemoral ligament, and ligamentum teres. These ligaments provide stability to the hip joint by connecting the femur to the pelvis.
The major ligaments of the human hip joint include the iliofemoral ligament, pubofemoral ligament, and ischiofemoral ligament. These ligaments help provide stability to the hip joint and limit excessive movement.
Humans have four ligaments in each leg: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL). These ligaments play crucial roles in providing stability and support to the knee joint.
The hinge ligament is a flexible structure that connects the two halves (valves) of a clam shell at the hinge. It acts as a spring to allow the shell to open and close. When the adductor muscles relax, the hinge ligament helps the clam's shell to open.
The nuchal ligament is also referred to as the "paddywhack" in animals. This tendon is located in the midline of the neck.

The nuchal ligament is a strong tendon found in the neck of some animals, such as horses and giraffes. It helps to support the weight of the head and maintain proper posture.
The nuchal scan is used in pregnancy to determine if the baby is likely to have a condition such as Down's Syndrome. This is done by scanning the nuchal translucency or the nuchal fold which is part of the brain.
The superior attachment for the trapezius muscle is the external occipital protuberance and the nuchal ligament at the base of the skull, the ligamentum nuchae.

A temporal nuchal crest is a ridge of bone located on the back of the skull where the neck muscles attach. It acts as an anchor point for muscles that help support and move the head. This feature is found in some animals, particularly those with powerful neck muscles.
colateral ligament
An acrocoracohumeral ligament is a ligament which connects the humerus to the shoulder joint.
YES! There are at least 5 that I am aware of as a 1st year Physio student. They are: - iliofermoral ligament -ischiofemoral ligament -pubofemoral ligament -ligament of head of femur -transverse acetabular ligament
