Initially I was going to use this view of a hippo to say something smart about…
Friday Cephalopod: Force of arms
Who among you has taught or studied vertebrate anatomy? I have. It's cool. Skeletal and muscular anatomy are weird, though, because we so take the principles for granted that we're often not aware of it.
