Description: Reconstruction of the posture of the Late Cretaceous multituberculate Catopsbaatar catopsaloides (Kielan−Jaworowska, 1974) from the Gobi Desert, Mongolia, as a plantigrade mammal with sprawling limbs. Skull length is about 60 mm. The size of the spur has been reconstructed based on the length of the male spur in Ornithorhynchus in comparison to the length of the foot. The animal is reconstructed in aggressive position, ready for attack, with mobile spurs projecting medially. (Artwork by Bogusław Waksmundzki.)
