Research Abstract

In this study, the fore- and hindlimbs of the harbor seal and the forelimbs of the harbor porpoise were examined three dimensionally to analyze the motion range using CT scanner. In the harbor seal, the broad motion range of tarsal joint with lateral and medial motion was observed. Moreover, the flexion and extension of the shoulder and elbow joints buried within trunk and the pronation of forearm were recognized. In the harbor porpoise, the motion of forelimbs was accompanied by almost none of scapular movement, and the circumnutation of forearms was not confirmed.
