webbed

An amphibious mouse with webbed feet and a blob-headed fish are among 27 new species scientists have discovered in Peru.

According to her testimony in court records, police had told Napoletano, falsely, that webbed footprints had been found at one of the crime scenes, footprints that could have been left by Sindle’s webbed feet.

They had webbed toes that splayed out as they sank into the sand and kept them from plunging under.

Back in the forest, a Wallace’s flying frog sprang from a tree—its spindly legs and webbed toes spread-eagle—seeming more bat than amphibian.

Their feet are adapted for powerful swimming, with every toe webbed.
