These species are characterized by their movement, resting, and eating of termites and ants in arboreal and terrestrial environments, and therefore, their thoracic limbs have been adapted morphologically to move in these environments. <jats:italic>Tamandua mexicana<\/jats:italic> is a species constantly threatened by different causes, and their thoracic limbs can be affected in the scapular and shoulder regions as a result; therefore, specific anatomical knowledge of the scapula allows for better clinical procedures, surgical approaches, radiological diagnosis and muscular reconstructions in extinct species of anteaters. The main objective of this study was to report the anatomical and radiographic features of the scapula in juvenile and adult specimens of <jats:italic>T.\u00a0mexicana<\/jats:italic>. Gross dissections and radiographic study were performed in six cadavers. The scapula had large differences compared with other mammals, such as two spines, a foramen for the suprascapular nerve, a long acromion, a cranial transverse scapular ligament and caudolateral fossa for the origin of the muscles teres major, tensor fasciae antebrachii and subscapular. In juvenile specimens, a scapular cartilage, an acromial cartilage, craniomedial and caudolateral coracoscapular ligaments forming the foramen for the suprascapular nerve, and progressive ossification of those ligaments and the cranial transverse scapular ligament were observed. These findings were corroborated by radiography; therefore, these characteristics change with age. The bony reliefs of the scapula of <jats:italic>T.\u00a0mexicana<\/jats:italic> corroborate the specialization of the shoulder in this species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,13]],"date-time":"2019-11-13T05:56:40Z","timestamp":1573624600000},"page":"203-215","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Anatomical and radiographic study of the scapula in juveniles and adults of <i>Tamandua mexicana<\/i> (Xenarthra: Myrmecophagidae)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1517-2916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Fernando","family":"V\u00e9lez\u2010Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Medicina y Cirug\u00eda de Peque\u00f1os Animales Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia Universidad del Tolima Ibagu\u00e9 Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4535-0680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sharith Valentina","family":"Torres\u2010Su\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Medicina y Cirug\u00eda de Peque\u00f1os Animales Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia Universidad del Tolima Ibagu\u00e9 Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2005-5116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego Fernando","family":"Echeverry\u2010Bonilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n en Medicina y Cirug\u00eda de Peque\u00f1os Animales Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia Universidad del Tolima Ibagu\u00e9 Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","volume-title":"A comparative primate anatomy.
