Changes

Animals with the ''unguligrade'' stance, including horses, cattle, and deer, walk only on the ''tips'' of the digits. In the horse, the anatomical structure corresponding to the foot are very elongated. In a famous mistake, the lexicographer Samuel Johnson defined the word ''pastern'' as "the knee of the horse." The pastern does look like a knee and it in roughly the location where you might expect a knee, but it faces backwards. Animals with the unguligrade stance are fast runners, depending on speed to escape predators, and their legs are long and relatively fragile.
