hindlimb

This data indicates that pterosaurs were constrained in hindlimb proportions in the same manner that bats are.

Except in very rare cases the bones or cartilage of whales and dolphins homologous to pelvic and hindlimb elements are internal or largely so.

Others maintain that there might have been a variety of attachments, and that having the hindlimb free of the main wing would have aerodynamic advantages for the large dynamic soarers such as Anhanguera and Pteranodon.

On the apparent absence of the patagium in the 'from behind' image (if I may), note that there is, actually, some strange baggy skin on the animal's right side (anterior to its hindlimb), while on the left we can just about make out what appears to be an unusual amount of loose skin extending, along the anterior surface of the left hindlimb, from the ankle toward the belly.

And both groups practise hindlimb-dominated locomotion and erect trunk postures.

In more detailed papers, Pettigrew (1991) and Pettigrew et al. (1989) marshaled evidence from eye, brain and spinal cord anatomy, fore - and hindlimb, finger and metacarpal proportions, and haemoglobin sequences, and again concluded that megabats and primates shared a common ancestor, and that microbats were not close relatives of megabats, but that their affinities lay elsewhere.

The entire carcass was split open along its ventral surface, the bones of its pelvis were partially dislocated, and its left hindlimb was defleshed right down to the bones.
