Question

Hindlimbs are more powerful, stout and developed than the fore limbs. Explain.

Answer 1

Hind limbs are made up of a large bone called the femur, which makes up the upper part of the human leg.

The femur is the strongest bone in the body. The lower two bones are called the tibia and fibula.

Forelimbs differ from the hind limbs in their size and strength as well.

Hind limbs are usually much stronger than forelimbs.

Humans demonstrate this, as their legs, or hind limbs, are strong and sturdy. This is true of other animals as well. Most animals have larger hind limbs and these are attached to the pelvis, giving the limbs a firm anchor.
