What does decadactyl mean?

"Decadactyl" refers to something having ten fingers or toes.

It comes from the Greek words:

* deka (δεκα) meaning "ten"

* daktylos (δακτυλος) meaning "finger" or "toe"

So, a decadactyl animal is one that has ten digits on each of its hands and feet, like humans and monkeys.
