果子狸全身骨骼形态特征的初步观察

PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS ON MORPHOLOGIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SKELETAL SYSTEM OF THE MASKED CIVET

观察结果表明，成年果子狸全身骨骼分为中轴骨骼（包括头骨、脊柱、肋骨和胸骨）和四肢骨骼（包括前肢骨和后肢骨）两部分；左右髋骨分开，不形成骨盆联合，为开放式骨盆；前脚骨有５指，后脚骨有５趾。

By observing the skeletons of the masket civets,the authors find that the skeletons consist of the axial skeleton,including the skull vertebrae,ribs and sternum and the appendicular skeleton including the anterior and the posterior.Instead of forming the symphsis pubis,the os coxae are of the open structure and each of the four pedes has five paws.
