Glass Coaster : X-ray of a frog
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
X-ray of a frog
Frog. X-ray of a frog (family Ranidae). The frogs semi-circular jawbone gives it a wide gape for capturing prey with its tongue. The strong limb bones are adapted for powerful jumping and swimming. The forelimbs are attached to a fused shoulder girdle to take the impact of landing after a jump. The three pelvic bones are also fused, providing a fixed pivot from which the long hindlegs can kick. The rear toes are elongated and webbed to assist with swimming

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate X-ray image of a fascinating creature - the frog. Belonging to the family Ranidae, this amphibian's skeletal structure is truly remarkable. The semi-circular jawbone of the frog allows it to possess a wide gape, enabling it to capture prey effortlessly with its agile tongue. Adapted for both powerful jumping and swimming, the strong limb bones of this frog are awe-inspiring. Its forelimbs are attached to a fused shoulder girdle, which serves as a shock absorber upon landing after each leap. Meanwhile, three pelvic bones have also fused together, providing stability and acting as a fixed pivot point from which its long hindlegs can deliver mighty kicks. Notably, this amphibian's rear toes are elongated and webbed - an adaptation that greatly aids in efficient swimming through water bodies. This incredible combination of features makes frogs exceptional swimmers despite being primarily known for their impressive jumping abilities on land. The X-ray image captured by Science Photo Library perfectly highlights these unique characteristics within the skeleton of this extraordinary animal. It invites us into the world of nature's wonders and provides insight into how different species have evolved over time to thrive in their respective environments.
