The front feet of an animal, especially in contrast to the hind legs or back feet.
From 'fore-' (front) + 'feet' (plural of 'foot'). This anatomical term has been used since Old English for describing animal physiology.
Paleontologists study 'forefeet' fossils to understand how ancient creatures moved—the structure of forefoot bones reveals whether a dinosaur ran, climbed, or swam, telling whole evolutionary stories.
