The skeleton of a Lynark looks mostly human in shape from the hip to where the neck meets the skull and the arms.
The structure of the legs, however, is identical in shape to a jaguar's hind legs.
Where humans have three bones in each finger, Lynark have five, due to them retractable claws, including the thumbs.
The structure of the wing bones are typically similar to the wings of either a hummingbird, a barn swallow or a chimney swift.
With the hummingbird wing shape being almost exclusively observed in females and the chimney swift wing shape exclusively appearing in males. The only wing shape seen commonly in both genders is that of the barn swallow.
Very seldom is a hummingbird wing shape seen in a male at a rate of 1 in 9,617,393,612 males born with that wing shape. This rarity is highly sought after by females as these males tend to be Lynark Savants (male only) who are superior to all Lynark aside from their female equal; Lynark Seekers (female only)
Their skulls are unimpressive in that they don't differ greatly from a lynx of any species. Their upper canines, however, are thinner and much longer than any natural feline's and are designed for injection and extraction to and directly from an arterial source as they are hollow.
The pelvic bones are jointed loosely together to allow for more range of motion in the legs and lower back.
Density, strength and flexibility are the only truly extraordinary aspects of Lynarke* skeletons. The weight of their skeleton is .028lbs per cubic inch heavier than tungsten. However, their bones are as flexible as pvc and barely stronger than titanium pound for pound.
*Lynarke: silent "e" on the end refers to plural possessive.
