"Ok class, I think you've had plenty of time to get a good idea of plantigrade feet, mine of course have 3 toes, though 4 and 5 toes are just as common, make sure to jot that down, this will be on the test...now for our next chapter, we'll be looking at digitigrade and how they stand on their toes instead, their toes are much stronger and tend to be a bit more firm yet still soft and plump, most digitigrade's have paw pads, though you can also have plantigrade with those as well...Oh goodness, can I put my feet down now? This is so embarrassing... you shouldn't be THAT intrigued by a pair of old soles like mine. it's making me blush . "
