Question

Animals in which digits are both webbed and clawed _________.
A. Frogs
B. Terrapins
C. Crocodiles
D. Both B and C

Answer 1

Hint: In animals that live on land as well as on water, webbed feet with claws are found. These species are aquatic, but they have to come overland for breeding purposes. They create a hole in the ground for laying eggs. Their claws assist them in digging out a nest.

Complete answer:
Frogs have padded webbed feet to help them swim. Aquatic frogs are likely to have long, sturdy legs and webbed back legs for walking and jumping. Frogs that are found on land appear to have shorter legs. There are big, round toe pads for tree frogs that help them stick to branches and to help the frog cling on to the wet surface of leaves and other smooth walls or surfaces, these toe pads act like suction cups.
Crocodiles, which have a lizard-like form and carnivorous inhabit, are typically large, amphibious animals belonging to the reptile order Crocodylia. With many conical teeth, crocodiles have powerful jaws and small legs with webbed toes that are clawed. The tail is long and strong, and the skin is dense and thick.
One of the small species of turtle found in fresh or brackish water is the terrapin. Terrapins are semi-aquatic, which means that they spend some of their time on the ground and some living in the water. Paws are webbed between their toes to help them float, and long, sharp claws which help in climbing.

So, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: Reptiles are vertebrates that breathe air and they are covered by scales, bony plates, or a mixture of both, formed in special skin. Crocodiles, rodents, lizards, turtles, and tortoises are among them. The outer layer of their skin is shed periodically by all. Their metabolism relies on their external environment's temperature and might show hibernation or brumation to conserve energy.
