Additional genetic studies have been conducted on the three species; genetic distance estimates suggest that there is high levels of similarity between two-toed amphiumas and three-toed amphiumas, and much greater dissimilarity between the one-toed amphiuma and the two-toed amphiuma. [8] The head is pointed and wedge-shaped, and the eyes are small.

In humans this name is used for an abnormality in which the middle digits are missing, leaving only the thumb and fifth finger, or big and little toes.
Biofluorescence in a three-toed amphiuma. The three-toed amphiuma looks rather eel-like, with an elongate, dark gray-black, or brown colored body, and tiny vestigial legs. A large salamander, one record sized individual was recorded at 41.25 inches (104.8 cm), but 18–30 inches (46–76 cm) is the typical size of an average adult. [3]

Typically, they are ungulates which bear weight equally on two (an even number) of their five toes (the third and fourth, often in the form of a hoof). The other three toes are either present, absent, vestigial, or pointing posteriorly. By contrast, most perissodactyls bear weight on an odd number of the five toes.
By contrast, artiodactyls (even-toed ungulates) bear most of their weight equally on four or two (an even number) of the five toes: their third and fourth toes. Another difference between the two is that perissodactyls digest plant cellulose in their intestines , rather than in one or more stomach chambers as artiodactyls, with the exception of ...
