. Advances in the study of mammalian behavior. Mammals. Fig. 6. Tissue decomposition of the truncal masses in infant and adult. to a slight drop in the proportion of muscle to body weight. The head becomes relatively smaller and the hindlimbs two times larger than the forelimbs. The center of gravity continues to shift poste- riorly. In this size class, locomotor activities become somewhat restricted and play declines. Sexual dimorphism increases. Above 8 kg the males have become reproductively and socially mature. The head is relatively smaller, the thighs still more massive than before. The
