I never knew before how much I needed to see Professor Lyra giving a lecture on the similarities of human and pony biology.
 
I hope there can be more of these forming a whole series of such lectures from Ly-ly. :D

The lecturer is Lyra, so I won’t be surprised

But that’s wrong. There’s no human joint where it labels the hock. Should be at the heel.  
The “hoof” should only be the toe area.

Added the “bad anatomy” tag even though I’m pretty sure this was tongue-in-cheek.

yep the hock is the heel
 
pony lower legs are a big foot
 

Lyra in glasses. Yes.

@Background Human  
They are banned for being too spooky.

Human anatomy is not bad. Its just that most biologists compare human anatomy with non-tool using animals which don’t need or have a wide range of motions. Its like comparing a hammer to a swiss army knife. A swiss army knife is never going to drive/remove nails as well as a hammer but the swiss army knife can do so many other things that being inferior in that one skillset is irrelevant.

@chucklefarts  
She doesn’t know. Do you have any idea how hard it is to import a human skeleton?

This Lyra is way too detailed and sexy for a sfw picture.

@xbi  
Every teacher I ever had shaking their heads over this attitude

@chucklefarts
 
Lyra is the professor, she knows better!

That is wrong. The hock should be paired with the heel, not the calf muscle.

human anatomy is pretty bad. if you’ve looked at the bones in a foot, theres like 26 bones all trying to hold up the 120lbs or more. the reason being is that a horse’s knees are our ankles and heels. theres really 4 main segments of the legs that bend independently from each other, and these segments had to be pretty mangled so that we could walk. horses sort of walk on their toes. the spine is also bad. the spine is many segments that allow the being to bend and grab stuff or whatever. well the human spine is in a bit of an S shape, which doesn’t distribute weight well upright. L5 is very commonly injured because it supports the most weight. back and foot pain are common because of both these evolutionary fuck ups and our poor lifestyles.
 
now im not an anthropologist or whatever, but it’s mostly right so who cares? this is a site about fictional horses, not a science exam.

the way the chest fluff or belly button area is drawn makes it looks like some strange wound or gash of some sort. honestly it resembles a vagina. may want to fix that just so it looks nicer.

So whenever they lift their hoof, they’re flipping us off?

The hoof bone is actually equivalent to our middle finger or something.

I wouldn’t mind a series where Lyra tries to educate us in human biology and how it’s similar to ponies. Sounds like it could be fun.

yes mammals in gerneral
