Abstract

The present morphological study compares the structures of the thoracic and pelvic’s limbs muscles and bones of the buffalo and cattle. M. extensor digiti primi longus, and absence of os sesamoideum metatarsale have been observed in the buffalo. The differences in the insertion of m. peroneus tertius on the hindlimb and structure of m. flexor digitorum superficialis and insertion of m. extensor carpi oblquus on the forelimb in the buffalo were noted. The attachments of the muscles with more ending tendons in the buffalo give bigger stability of the limbs than cattle.
