A group of animals with digits or toes that are connected by ligaments or connective tissue, including sloths and some other mammals.
From Greek 'desmos' (bond) + 'daktylos' (finger, toe). The name describes the characteristic bonded digits these animals possess.
Sloths are part of Desmodactyli because their fingers are incredibly connected by tough ligaments—this adaptation lets them grip branches for hours without getting tired!
