Don't base it on a lizard skeleton! Randall's skeletal structure is very much mammalian. Randall has some obvious features only found in mammals. For example, Randall has teeth across the front of both his upper and lower jaws, with no space in between. Randall also has "floating" or "short" ribs, down at the bottom of his rib cage, below his second pair of arms. Those are ribs with are not attached to both the spinal column and the sternum, but are attached to the spinal column in the rear(dorsally) and to a muscular diaphragm in front, to assist with breathing. Reptiles lack a diaphragm and have to breath by using their side muscles to expand their ribs in and out laterally(sideways), unlike us mammals, who breath by moving the diaphragm up and down, pushing air in or out of the lungs. You can clearly see that inverted "U" formed by the bottom of Randall's ribcage when he breathes, where that diaphragm would be attached. If you watch the scene in MI, near the beginning, where he's showing off his moves on that bench after scaring Mike, you will also notice that his pelvic bones have a structure more like ours, not at all like a lizard's, because you can see that underlying bone structure as he moves.

No, I mean the skeleton of the website! It's sort of a loose computer term.

You guys really have made me consider things I never had about Randall. Even though it’s been over a year since I saw the movie, I with seafoamonster that he moves more like a cat/ animal stalking their prey than anything in the reptile family.
