The hind limbs of any animal are much stronger than the forelimbs.

The hind limbs are attached to the posterior part of the body, while the forelimbs are attached to the front side of the body.

The bones of the hind limbs are sturdier and longer than the bones present in the forelimbs.

In the humans, the hind limb is termed as the leg that is attached to the pelvis; while the forelimb is termed as the arm that is connected to the shoulder joint.

Answer:

Difference between hindlimbs and forelimbs

  • The forelimbs, or arms, are the ones that are present in the front section of the body. The limbs in the back of the body are known as hind limbs.
  • The pelvis connects the hind limbs to the skeleton, while the pectoral girdle, scapulae, and clavicles connect the forelimbs to the skeleton. 
  • The forelimbs are more involved in maintaining stability than the hind limbs.
  • In humans and higher animals, particularly apes and monkeys, the forelimbs are far more active in managing the environment through the hands than the hindlimbs.
