B. Posterior Group
The gastrocnemius and soleus resemble those of the horse. The superficial flexor is more fleshy than in the horse. Its tendon terminates as in the fore limb.
The deep flexor has in its upper part a close resemblance to that of the horse, but the superficial head (tibialis posterior) is larger and distinct. The tendon ends like that on the fore limb.
