Relating to or characteristic of digging, ditches, or animals that burrow; adapted for excavation.
From Latin fossarius 'relating to digging,' derived from fossus (past participle of fodere 'to dig') plus -arian, a suffix denoting relation or association.
Fossarian claws on a mole are so specialized that each tiny bone and muscle is optimized for shoveling through soil—it's like nature engineered the perfect underground bulldozer!
