Five Toes the Limit.

No living representative of the an!- 1 mal kingdom has more than five toes, digits of claws to each foot, hand or limb. The horse is a type of the onetoed creation, the camel of the twotoed, the* rhinoceros of the three-toed, and the hippopotamus of the four-toed animal life. The elephant and hundreds of other animals of different orders belong to the great five-toed tribe.
