“…The separation into two portions is not typical; the muscle is apparently single in Di. virginiana (Coues 1871), takes a broad continuous origin along the ischiatic ramus in macropods (Hopwood and Butterfield 1976;Warburton, Yakovleff et al 2012) but has a double origin in…”

“…The fabella and fabellofibular ligament are found to be best developed in the kangaroo, in that jumping requires great stability during forceful extension of the knee [14]. In kangaroos, the well-developed plantaris muscle originates from the fabella and provides superficial tendons for fingers, which play a role corresponding to the flexor digitorum superficialis in the forearm [21]. Since the plantaris muscle in the lower extremities of humans may be undergoing a process of retrogression, this muscle has often been compared with the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm [5].…”
