In science lessons webbed feet are a classic adaptation for swimming: they work like paddles, pushing more water. Ducks, geese, swans, penguins, frogs, platypuses and otters have them; divers wear flippers to copy this. Some people are born with slightly webbed toes, which is usually harmless. Phrases: «webbed feet», «webbed toes».
