The correct Answer is:
To determine which animal has hind limbs that are slightly shorter than the forelimbs, we can analyze the options provided based on their evolutionary characteristics and limb proportions. 1. **Understanding the Options**: The question provides four options: lemur, loris, rhesus monkey, and tarsiers. We need to assess the limb proportions of each. 2. **Analyzing Tarsiers**: Tarsiers are known for having longer hind limbs compared to their forelimbs. Therefore, they do not fit the criteria of having shorter hind limbs. 3. **Analyzing Lorises**: Lorises also have longer hind limbs than forelimbs, similar to tarsiers. Thus, they do not meet the requirement either. 4. **Analyzing Lemurs**: In lemurs, the size of the hind limbs is almost equal to that of the forelimbs. This means they do not have hind limbs that are shorter than forelimbs. 5. **Analyzing Rhesus Monkeys**: Rhesus monkeys are characterized by having hind limbs that are slightly shorter than their forelimbs. This aligns perfectly with the question's requirement. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that hind limbs are slightly shorter than forelimbs in the rhesus monkey. **Final Answer**: Option 3 - Rhesus monkey. ---
