metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: An attempt has been made to explain the features of the wrist structure of
  crocodiles, which sharply distinguish them from other reptiles. Biomechanical
  model of a crocodilian forearm and manus is created with using of the vector
  contours method from the theory of mechanisms and machines. The key role
  of the V finger in the manus stability during the stance phase is shown. On the
  basis of this data, it is concluded that there is no bipedal stage in evolutionary
  history of crocodiles and their high specialization for quadrupedal parasagittal
  running with the emergence of a gallop as a result. The special way of parasagittal
  forelimb posture of the crocodiles offered to name instant parasagittality.
