A leg of a pig

Below you can watch three video's about the leg of a pig. In the first one we use the achilles tendon to change the position of the lower leg of a pig.
Here you see the tendons of the muscles which are in the lower leg all the way connected to the toes of the foot of a pig.
In this video you see the hinge joint in the leg of a pig. It's beautifully shaped: it's very smooth and the bones of the joint fit very nicely.
