Crocodyliforms display a diverse range of skull morphologies throughout their evolutionary history. Extant crocodilians possess platyrostral (broad and flat) snouts, thought to be sub-optimal for resi
Each row of whiskers is attached to one superficial extrinsic protracting muscle, which represents Pars media superior (PMS) or Pars media inferior (PMI) of the M. nasolabialis profundus, for rows A–B
Dinosaur locomotion and biomechanics, especially of their pelvic girdles and hindlimbs, have been analyzed in numerous studies. However, detailed volumetric musculoskeletal models of their tails are r
