Having digits or fingers; characterized by the possession of finger-like or toe-like projections or appendages.
From Greek 'daktylos' meaning 'finger or toe' with the suffix '-ous' indicating possession of that quality.
This term is used in zoology to distinguish animals with distinct digits from those without—most mammals are dactylous while fish and snakes are not, making it a key feature in evolutionary classification.
