The document describes the anatomical differences between the shoulder and forelimb bones of horses, oxen, and camels. Specifically: 1) It compares features of the scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and digits between the three animals, noting differences in structures like the acromion process, spine, tuber spinae, and glenoid fossa. 2) For the humerus, it notes horses have a well-defined neck while camels have an undefined neck, and other structural differences. 3) For the metacarpals and digits, it describes horses having an extra medial bone, while oxen and came
