A member of the rodent family Ctenodactylidae, small mammals with comb-like structures on their feet that help them grip surfaces.
From Greek 'ctenis' (comb) and 'daktylos' (finger or toe), meaning 'comb-toed.' This describes the specialized foot structure unique to these rodents.
These adorable desert-dwelling rodents have actual combs between their toes that work like nature's built-in grooming tool and climbing device at the same time!
