syndactylous การใช้

• There are also two syndactylous ( 2nd and 3rd toes are fused ) toes on the hind feet, used for grooming.
• A characteristic of all species of marsupial gliders is the partially fused ( syndactylous ) second and third digits on the hind feet.
• A third view suggests that the bandicoot group evolved from a primitive carnivore, developed the syndactylous hind foot as a specialisation for climbing, and the diprotodonts then split off and evolved the two-tooth jaw that gives them their name.
• They have three pairs of lower front incisors, which would usually suggest evolution from the order Dasyuromorphia, which consists of carnivorous marsupials; however, the bandicoot's middle two digits are syndactylous, meaning they are joined together except for the claw.
