The webbed membrane between the fingers or digits in certain animals, such as bats or aquatic mammals.
From Greek daktylos (finger) + patagium (membrane/wing). This anatomical term describes the specialized tissue connecting digits in flying or swimming animals.
Bat wings are technically modified hands with dactylopatagium stretched between elongated finger bones—which means every bat is basically flying on webbed fingers.
