  Hello,
  does anyone of you know (and I hope so) what animal has the longest toes in proportion to its body-length. When you would compare it to a normal build human being, the toes would be 90-110 cm long.
  Thanx a lot!

  The animals with the longest toes in proportion to body size are jacanas, a family of wading birds. Some have toe lengths of 15cm but whether they are proportionate to 90cm when compared to a human i’m afraid i don’t know.

  Hey David,
  Yeah amphibians and reptiles are my speciality although I do love all animals. For me, newts and salamanders are just amazing!

  Any particular species of bat? I always thought bats had fairly average sized toes, but I could be wrong.
