“…The intertubercular groove was semilunar or roughly "J" shaped (proximal view), wide and smooth. However, it was 'L' shaped in proximal view of the humerus in Miocene amphicyonid Magericyon anceps (Palanisamy et al, 2018). The greater tubercle was well developed and undivided which was found to be similar to the finding in other carnivores (Macdonald et al, 2010;Palanisamy et al, 2018 andSiliceo et al, 2015).…”

The present investigation was performed on four humeri of adult Indian wildcat to observe its characteristic features. It was a long and slender bone with a well-developed shaft and two extremities. The shaft was prismatic in its upper third, cylindrical in the middle third and compressed anteroposteriorly in its remaining part. The lateral surface was marked with the crest of humerus, anteriorly and the tricipital line, posteriorly. The medial surface was wide and located below the intertubercular groove and it had nutrient foramen in the distal one third. The posterior surface was present only in distal 1/3rd of bone and was triangular. The proximal extremity composed of head, neck, lesser tubercle (medial tuberosity), greater tubercle (lateral tuberosity) and intertubercular groove (bicipital groove). The distal extremity was composed of two condyles, epicondyles, supracondylar foramen and olecranon fossa. The supracondylar foramen was present medially and elongated oval in shape.

“…The Scapula's presentation of a straight caudal border, convex cranial, convex dorsal border and two surfaces with the lateral divided into two equal halves by the scapula spine was similar to that of the dog [6] and cat [16]. However, the division of the acromion process into hamate and suprahamate processes was only noticed in the cat, tiger and leopard [20,14] suggesting that it may be a speci c feature of feline species which helps to properly anchor the muscles attached to these processes and support the scapulohumeral joint which is actively involved during prey capturing.…”

Background: The Importance of the appendicular skeleton in the conformation, shape and physiology of wild animals especially carnivores for adaptation and survival cannot be overemphasized as limited and obsolete information on the bones of the forelimb necessitated this study. Matured adult African lions (Male and female) that weighed 173kg and 112kg were obtained at different times after post mortem examinations of their carcasses. Bone preparation was achieved via cold water maceration after proper skin and muscle removal to a barest minimum.Results: The acromion process of the scapula consisted of a ventral hamate and caudal suprahamatus processes. The musculospiral groove of the humerus was more or less absent while its supracondyloid foramen and crest were positioned above the medial condyle and lateral condyle respectively. The radioulna presented a twisted appearance with the radius slightly curved thereby creating an extensive interosseous space that spanned its entire length. The seven (7) carpal bones were uniquely arranged in two rows while the 5 metacarpals anchored 5 digits with 3 phalanges except the rst with 2 phalanges each. The 3rd phalanx had a unique appearance with a crescent plate projecting from the ventral cavity.The average total number of bones constituting the pectoral limb was 75. Conclusion: Numerical information and detailed anatomical features of the pectoral limb bones of theAfrican lion (Panthera leo) have added some valuable literature to science. This further serves as a baseline data for future scienti c exposition on this species.

However, the division of the acromion process into hamate and suprahamate processes was only noticed in the cat, tiger and leopard [ 16 , 17 ] suggesting that it may be a specific feature of feline species which helps to properly anchor the muscles attached to these processes and support the scapulohumeral joint which is actively involved during prey capturing. The acromion and hamate processes point cranio-distally unlike in the domestic cat [ 15 ] where it points directly distally.…”

Background The Importance of the appendicular skeleton in the conformation, shape and physiology of wild animals especially carnivores for adaptation and survival cannot be overemphasized, as limited and obsolete information on the bones of the forelimb necessitated this study. Matured adult African lions (Male and female) that weighed 173 kg and 112 kg were obtained at different times after post mortem examinations of their carcasses. Bone preparation was achieved via cold water maceration after proper skin and muscle removal to a barest minimum. Results The acromion process of the scapula consisted of a ventral hamate and caudal suprahamate processes. The Clavicle was absent in this species. The musculospiral groove of the humerus was more or less absent while its supracondyloid foramen and crest were positioned above the medial condyle and lateral condyle respectively. The radio-ulna presented a twisted appearance with the radius slightly curved thereby creating an extensive interosseous space that spanned its entire length. The seven (7) carpal bones were uniquely arranged in two rows while the 5 metacarpals anchored 5 digits with 3 phalanges except the first with 2 phalanges each. Two sesamoid bones were located on the ventral surface of each Metacarpophalangeal joint. None was seen on its dorsal surface. The 3rd phalanx had a unique appearance with a crescent plate projecting from the ventral cavity. The average total number of bones constituting the pectoral limb was 80. Conclusion Numerical information and detailed anatomical features of the pectoral limb bones of the African lion (Panthera leo leo) have added some valuable literature to science. This further serves as a baseline data for future scientific exposition on this species.
