A Greater Flamingo, Phoenicopterus ruber which died at Ueno Zoo, Tokyo, and forwarded to Yamashina Institute for Ornithology in 1960, is illustrated myologically, and some difference from the crane (Stanley Crane: Kuroda, 2002) is noted. The pectoralis major (Fig. 1. A) consists of the proprius and lateralis, lacking the profundus (present in soaring birds). The supracoracoideus is separated into three parts, not unified to a single muscle as in the crane. The latissimus dorsi is distinctly separated as anterior (white muscle) and posterior (red muscle) muscular belts (in crane connected by a membraneous thin belt) (Fig. 1. B). The iliotibial (femoral thigh region) muscles (Fig. 2. A) are short but more voluminous compared with crane. The superficial wide m. iliotibialis was found to be separated as anterior and posterior parts, lacking the middle part. Small two muscles, m. iliotrochantericus "minor" (present (Fig. 2. B (c): b) under m. iliotrochantericus posterior) (Fig. 2. B (a): b) and m. femorotibialis medius "accessorius", were newly named. The tibial muscles are short, with voluminous m. gastrocnemius, but the tendons are not ossified. In the crane, tibial muscles are longer and slender, but the tendons are ossified, showing stronger use of the legs. In the flamingo, the force of back lift of legs is reflected in the developed gastrocnemius. The tendon of m. ambiens in the crane is connected to the muscles of digiti II, III and IV in a complicated state, but it is very slender and weak simply connected to the m. flexor perforans et perforatus digiti III (Fig. 2. C, D; Fig. 3. B).
