“…In paca (Tonini et al, 2014) the obturator nerve was formed exclusively from L6. However, the obturator nerve had the same origin as the femoral nerve in most cases, as described by König and Liebich (2021), Dyce et al (2019), crested porcupine (Aydin, 2009), red squirrel (Aydin, 2010), chinchilla (Martinez-Pereira and Rickes, 2011), lesser anteater (Cardoso et al, 2013), giant anteater (Cruz et al, 2014), yellow-toothed cavy (Oliveira et al, 2014), coati (Silva, 2014), Mongolian gerbil (Araújo-Júnior et al, 2016, agouti (Oliveira et al, 2016) and brown-throated three-toed sloth (Silva, 2017). In the rock cavy (Lacerda et al, 2006), the obturator nerve originated from the L5, L6 and L7 or L6 and L7 branches.…”
