| Summary: | Fig. 27. Placement of the fovea capitis femoris for the femoral ligament in Borocyon robustum and some living carnivorans. In cheetah, puma, and wolf the fovea is more centrally situated on the femoral head, whereas in the lion, tiger, and B. robustum it is more posteriorly placed, indicating a somewhat more abducted femur in these large felids and Borocyon. Diagram of articulated femur and pelvis shows femoral head of B. robustum fully adducted; the femur is more abducted in normal stance.
