Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1940, Vol. 54
The proximal phalanges of the fourth and fifth digits of the left pes have been shattered at some time and knit in distorted fashion. The left fibula has been broken, ankylosed to the tibia below the fracture and left too short to reach the proximal articulation with the tibia. The tenth _left rib, the ninth right rib and the eleventh right rib have all been broken and knit again. Pathological conditions such as found in these two wolves involving destruction of articulating surfaces by lesions, eburnation of articulating surfaces, and deposition of bony excrescences on or about joints are characteristic of osteoarthritis or, as it is sometimes called, chronic degenerative arthritis.
