Webbed toes is the common name for syndactyly. Webbed feet happens when two or more toes grow together instead of separately. This is common in many birds such as ducks and people with the surname Ivory. It is also common in amphibians such as frogs and mammals such as kangaroos and people suffering from thickness. In humans, it is not normal. It only happens to 3-10 in 10,000 live births.[1]
