prehensility

Prehensile feet are lower limbs that possess prehensility, the ability to grasp like a hand.

Prehensility is an adaptation that has afforded species a great natural advantage in manipulating their environment for feeding, digging, and defense.

She must speak and she must speak with prehensility, for not even her thumbs would stop him a second time.

Prehensility is the quality of an appendage or organ that has adapted for grasping or holding.

This is known as prehensility.

In many cases, greater prehensility is developed out of necessity and practice, and a person is able to type on a keyboard at impressive speeds.

Due to the development of bipedalism in humans, the hands became the focus of prehensility and the feet adjusted to more of a stabilizing role.

This organ, like the ancestral primate foot, evolved the capacity of prehensility - that is, the ability to grasp things - originally, obviously, branches.

Other reasons for partial prehensility might include the lack of strength or flexibility in the tail, or simply having no need to manipulate objects with it.

Many of the flexor tendons are shared, making it impossible to move individual toes independently; however, some prehensility, or grasping capability, does exist for most humans.

You are the Opossum of the Future, the ultimate Fittest Survivor of our species, the ripe result of progressive prehensility - all tail!"

All their statesmen learn the irresistibility of the tide of custom, and have invented many fine phrases to cover this slowness of perception, and prehensility of tail.
