Abstract

The Yonaguni pony is a rare breed of pony that has remained isolated on the westernmost island of Japan and may well retain normal morphological traits currently lost in most domestic horses (Equus caballus), such as the attachment of the nuchal ligament lamellae (NLL) from C2-C7. Recent research has found that NLL attachments are no longer present at C6 and C7 in most modern domesticated horses. This study investigated the attachments of the NLL in three Yonaguni ponies; 2 were examined in situ(deceased), and 1 was examined in vivo via ultrasound. The aim was to verify the attachments and compare the morphology to that in equids from previous studies. The in situ (2/2) and in vivo (1/1) findings revealed that the NLL was attached from C2-C7 in the Yonaguni ponies.

对Yonaguni小马的原位和超声研究显示了C2-C7的颈韧带片的罕见发现。
与那国马是一种罕见的小马,在日本最西端的岛屿上一直被隔离,并且可能很好地保留了目前在大多数驯养马(Equus caballus)中丢失的正常形态特征,例如C2-C7的颈韧带片(NLL)的附着。最近的研究发现,在大多数现代驯养马的C6和C7处,NLL附着物不再存在。本研究对3匹与那国小马驹的NLL附着体进行了研究;2例原位检查(已死亡),1例在体超声检查。目的是验证附着物,并将形态学与先前研究的马科动物的附着物进行比较。原位(2/2)和体内(1/1)结果表明,与那国马的NLL是从C2-C7附着的。
