2025年2月5日 · As one salamander began to move, blood rushed into the tips of its toes. The first time Brown noticed it, he and camera assistant William Goldenberg, who is a co-author on the paper, knew they had ...

The feet are broad with short digits, usually four on the front feet and five on the rear. Salamanders do not have claws, and the shape of the foot varies according to the animal's habitat. Climbing species have elongated, square-tipped toes, while rock-dwellers have larger feet with short, blunt toes.

2025年1月31日 · Wandering salamanders pump their toes full of blood before lifting their feet, a trick that may help them release their sticky grip while conserving energy

2024年6月9日 · Yes, salamander feet do look different than lizard feet. While both animals have four legs and toes, salamanders typically have shorter and stubbier feet compared to the longer and more slender feet of lizards.

2025年1月30日 · A new study suggests that a tree-dwelling salamander may be able to control its grip on trees' bark by pumping blood in and out of the tips of its toes.

The salamanders are one-half inch in length when they hatch and grow to about 3 inches in total length as adults. They have a muscular tail used for swimming. They do not spend much time swimming in the water column, however, and instead walk along the substrate*. They have 4 toes on their front feet and 5 toes on their back feet.

2025年1月17日 · While clinging onto the vertical platform, the salamanders kept their toes drained. The amphibians might be adjusting their toe shape, the researchers propose. Higher blood flow could inflate the toe, like a soccer ball, reducing its contact with the ground and making it easier to unstick.

2025年2月12日 · A recent study reveals that salamanders can control blood flow to their toes which enhances their ability to grip & release surfaces like tree bark. This discovery can inspire advancements in adhesives, prosthetics, and robotics.
