Mandrill Baboon Hand in Digitigrade Pose on Brass Stand
This hand from our mandrill skeleton SC-010 is articulated to demonstrate the mandrill's digitigrade-walking stance. Mandrills use their hands for terrestrial and arboreal locomotion, as well as for gathering food, grooming, tool use, and communication. While they are mostly terrestrial, foraging and moving on the floor of their tropical rainforest habitat, they also spend time in the trees. Opposable thumbs allow them to grasp.
The hand is a complex structure that is a representation of an animal's evolutionary history, from the simple tetrapod (a four-limbed, five-fingered animal) to a more complex organism. The study of comparative primate hands can yield insight into many areas of investigation through many disciplines: from K-12 to upper level work in the fields of evolution, biology, locomotion, and physical anthropology.Stand included.
4 ½" L x 3 ¼" W x 3 ¼" H / 11.5 cm x 8.3 cm x 8.5 cm
