Plural of fissiped; animals that have feet with toes or digits that are separated or cleft, especially carnivorous mammals.
English plural form of 'fissiped,' created by adding the regular '-s' ending to the Latin-derived singular noun combining 'fissus' (cleft) and 'pes' (foot).
The order Carnivora is almost entirely made up of fissipeds—the only major exception is pinnipeds (seals and walruses) whose ancestors were fissipeds but whose flippers evolved differently for swimming.
