Exempel på hur man kan använda DIGITIGRADE i en mening

• Hock (anatomy), the region formed by the tarsal bones connecting the tibia and metatarsus of a digitigrade or unguligrade quadrupedal mammal.
• Early amphicyonids, such as Daphoenodon, possessed a digitigrade posture and locomotion (walking on their toes), while many of the later and larger species were plantigrade or semiplantigrade.
• Due to the more digitigrade stance of their legs compared to the plantigrade stance of other members of Procyonidae, some taxonomies place the genus as a separate family, Bassaricidae.
• The hock, tarsus or uncommonly gambrel, is the region formed by the tarsal bones connecting the tibia and metatarsus of a digitigrade or unguligrade quadrupedal mammal, such as a horse, cat, or dog.
• A plantigrade foot is the primitive condition for mammals; digitigrade and unguligrade locomotion evolved later.
• Lucario is a canid-like Pokémon that is considered to be partly based on Anubis, the jackal-headed god of embalming from Egyptian mythology that is a bipedal digitigrade with finger-like digits on its forepaws.
• Typically, cursors will have long, slender limbs mostly due to the elongation of distal limb proportions (metatarsals/metacarpals) and loss or reduction of lateral digits with a digitigrade or unguligrade foot posture.
• The shape of the ankles and the bones in the hands and feet also suggest that Terrestrisuchus was digitigrade, with elongated metacarpus (wrist) and metatarsal bones that were pressed tightly together, similar to the feet of fast-running dinosaurs, suggesting that Terrestrisuchus was highly cursorial, adapted for running at high speeds.
• Unlike modern bears, Hemicyon walked on its toes; it was not plantigrade, but digitigrade, with long metapodials.
• Indohyus (Meaning "India's pig" from the Greek words Indos, "from India" and hûs, "pig") is an extinct genus of digitigrade even-toed ungulates known from Eocene fossils in Asia.
• The feet are nearly intermediate in structure between those of the digitigrade Viverrinae and the semiplantigrade Paradoxurinae, but more like the latter, both the carpal and metatarsal pads being well developed, double, and joining the plantar pad below, and as wide as it is at the point of contact.
• The features of the astragalus are unlike those of plantigrade carnivorans such as ursids, and more similar to those of digitigrade felids, but it likely wasn't fully digitigrade like modern dogs and cats.
• While ancestral therizinosaurs had a gracile and digitigrade stance, therizinosaurids evolved a robust, ponderous body plan and plantigradism.
• It was a small digitigrade mammal, with brachyodont and lophobunodont teeth, teeth that have a combination of ridges (lophodont dentition) and cones (bunodont dentition).
• Hyaenodonts were ancestrally plantigrade, but the later, larger forms were generally digitigrade or semidigitigrade.
• This form had a hunched posture, a bipedal stance; digitigrade feet; a head that is larger relative to his body than his irradiated form; and a tyrannosaurid snout.
