Most of us remember the song<\/a> from childhood:<\/p>\n

'Toe bone connected to the foot bone,\u00a0Foot bone connected to the leg bone,\u00a0Leg bone connected to the knee bone\u2026'<\/p>\n

But here at MLML the students in the Marine Birds and Mammals class (MS 112) are quickly finding that what we learned as kids just doesn\u2019t seem to apply anymore! The skeletons of birds, marine mammals, and turtles are MUCH more complicated than the sweet little bones ditty implies. Have the animals changed since I was in fourth grade?! What exactly IS the \u2018foot bone\u2019, anyway?!<\/p>\n
