| Articulated pedal skeletons from specimens of 32 syndactylous marsupial species were measured. |
| The measurements were not otherwise adjusted by size because relative size variation is an important factor in differences between the syndactylous and non-syndactylous digits. |
| The second and third toes of syndactylous species are mostly enclosed in a sheath of skin and appear fused, except for the claws. |
| Their feet are not syndactylous, and the first toe of their hind feet is partially opposable. |
| Their tails are long but not prehensile, and their feet are not syndactylous. |
| As is true of other dasyuromorphs, numbats are not syndactylous. |
