So this is the skeletal structure, not too highly detailed. But important if you want to understand the basic shapes of this animal and why it shapes that way. Note that this may not be exactly accurate, i'm no proffesional and scalling things up and down is quite difficult.

I numbered the spine in parts of the cervical and thoracic and etc, the x's seperate the noteable parts of the spine and their transitions or key joints. Here you can see what I meant about the exaggerated knee, the long back feet, and the short front feet. I've named some of the basic bones, elnow, knee, femur, tibia, fivia, sternum, and basic areas like the toes or jaw, etc.

The most notable things I want you to look at is the length of the ribcage, the curve of the spine, and how the shoulder and pelvis bones are connected to the spin. As well as the leg anatomy. Seeing the bones and joints, it makes it easier to imagine the movement, doesn't it? Well it also make anatomy/proportion simplifying a lot easier to imagine and use! That comes next~

Oh, and the 29 =/= 18 thing is that, in the specefic species, it has twenty nine bones in that part of the tail. A regular ferret has eighteen.

Lovely, you're artwork is very neat.

Thankyou! I spent quite a long time studying ferrets this evening and their bones and muscles (course I did not get the chance to draw out a muscle diagram because it's so late/early in the morning).

Nice. c:

Thankyou~ <3 I think I might edit some other names I put in the third diagram and edit the first for some basic fur direction arrows.

What is doing an anatomy sketch from animal..anatomy...books... here?
It is really awesome! Any zoologist would be proud ^u^

FFFFF *flails* Anatomy book, I doubt it's that accurate to be in an anatomy book... I didn't mark a lot of the bones and I kind failed at the pelvis... *rubs back of neck*

But thankyou! I spent a lot of time on the bone structure, even if it's a little awkward and not perfect. <3

No spikey tail bones?
