The
morphology of the
tarsus of
Lophiparamys, including features such as an asymmetric astragalar tibial facet at the
crurotarsal joint, a short
calcaneal tuber, and the rounded shapes of both the calcaneal cuboid facet and astragalar head at the
transverse tarsal joint, strongly implies that this paramyid was an
arboreal animal. == References ==
