a1–a4 represent the four animals used in the morphology study. UL, unloaded (intact animal anesthetized); L, loaded with a 100-g point mass on a string across the cross-section at the given length from the head. Cross-section heights were measured at 10%, 25%, 37%, 50%, and 75% of the body length in the rostrocaudal direction.
