Choudhary KBD and Anil Deka*

In present studies, one pair of scapula of Common palm civet cat and Dog was utilized. The sizes of the supraspinous and infraspinous fosse were small compared to the fosse of scapula of Common palm civet cat. The size of the rough area of the scapular spine of Common palm civet cat was larger compared to the size of the rough area of the scapular spine of dog. The sub scapular fosse of the scapula of Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) was more deep compared to the scapula of Common palm civet cat. The depths of glenoid cavity and glenoid notch of scapula of Common palm civet cat were more compared to the scapula of the dog. The neck of the scapula of Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) was less constricted compared to the scapula of Common palm civet cat (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The scapular index of Common palm civet cat was less compared to the scapula of dog.
