"I suppose this is what is called a fish ball," said Dick, laughing heartily at the strange antics which the fishes were cutting. And just as Marjorie was about to reply a dark shadow passing overhead caused all of the children to look up. A pair of large webbed feet were seen slowly paddling above them, and beyond them the outline of a bird's body could be traced.
It is only when the peculiarities of structure are indicative of specialty of design, that they form a safe ground of classification. If the teeth of one animal are formed to fit it to feed on flesh, and those of another to fit it to feed on plants; if one has webbed feet and another not; then, in all such cases, difference of structure proves difference of kind.
The usual length of a full-grown one is about a yard, but there are some even four feet long; a large one weighed twenty pounds: on the island of Albemarle they seem to grow to a greater size than elsewhere. Their tails are flattened sideways, and all four feet partially webbed.
Then the raven sharpened the gouge thing which he called his beak wheep-wheep upon a stone, as birds do, and tightened his feathers, as if almost visibly tucking up his sleeves for well, for the job. Then he tweaked Cob's tail, apparently just to see how much alive he was. But Cob did not move, beyond drawing one webbed leg the free one up under him.
And one held the translator. "You talk!" A tri-jointed arm reached across his shoulder, triggered a lever, pressed a button. The head set cramping his ear let out a sudden growl of sound the com was activated. A claw jammed the mike closer to Shann's lips, but also slid in range the webbed loop of the translator. Shann shook his head at the incoming rattle of code.
Continuous with the outer edge of the anterior part and curving beneath it was a posterior part, looking not unlike a second foot, containing six well-formed toes situated directly beneath the other five. The eleven toes were all perfect and none of them were webbed. There is a class of monsters called "Sirens" on account of their resemblance to the fabulous creatures of mythology of that name.
You notice that the tail is flattened vertically, and not like the tail of the beaver, which is compressed horizontally. You observe that the legs are short and very muscular that there are five toes on the fore-feet, slightly webbed or palmated, and four on the hind-feet much longer and much more webbed.
Its body was like the eagle's, and its wings were longer than the tallest pines. Its face was that of an Indian, but covered with hard scales, and its feet were webbed. Its nest was deep down in the bottom of the Lake, out in the center, and out of the nest rushed all the waters which fill the Lake. There are no rivers to feed the Lake, only the waters from the ong's nest.
The feet are webbed large and of a yellow colour, it has four toes the hinder toe is longer than in most aquatic fouls, the nails are black, not sharp and 1/2 an inch in length
He got his body into the water, and, with a few strokes of his webbed feet, jerked the turtle after, and both were now fairly launched. Once in the river, the caïman seemed to gain fresh vigour. His tail vibrated violently and rapidly, throwing the tortoise from side to side until the foam floated around them, and then both suddenly sank to the bottom.
