How do the long, thin legs of the zupras carry more than a kilo of weight? Male weights can reach 1950 kilos, female weasels weigh 1200 kilos. "The leg bones are abnormally skinny for an animal of this size," says Christ Basu of Royal Veterinary College in England. In July, Basu and colleagues announced that the zyphrants identified special connective tissues in the grooves of the leg bones that were thought to prevent their legs from collapsing under the tremendous weight of the animal. These structures provide passive support without using too much muscle, so they are able to carry giant cubes without too much fatigue.
