3D volumes of muscles of the forelimb in the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) and the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus), based on physical and digital dissection.
NOTE: Pause the animation and manually scrub to control muscle visibility. Distal tendons were digitally modelled in Blender based dissections and scans, and are intentionally schematic to differentiate from segmented anatomical data.
Scale bar represents 50 mm.
