Correlation graphs (Bivariate Scattergrams with regression lines and 95% confidence bands). Left column (a, c): correlation of the failure loads of the left and the corresponding right side for femurs of heavy animals (a) and light animals (c). Whereas the correlation in heavy animals was weak and almost random-like, light animals showed a strong correlation. Right column (b, d): correlation of the stiffness of the left and the corresponding right side for humeri of heavy animals (b) and light animals (d). No correlation in heavy animals, the humerus of light animals was the only bone reaching an acceptable correlation of the right and the left sides
