In terrestrial carnivorans, the feet have soft pads. The feet can either be digitigrade as seen in cats, hyenas and dogs or plantigrade as seen in bears, skunks, raccoons, weasels, civets and mongooses. In pinnipeds, the limbs have been modified into flippers. Members of the Carnivora order, like this tiger, have pads on their feet.
[48] [32] [49] [50] This makes Carcharodontosaurus saharicus one of the largest known theropod dinosaurs and one of the largest terrestrial carnivores. [ 51 ] [ 32 ] C. iguidensis was much smaller, only reaching 10 metres (33 ft) in length and 4 metric tons (4.4 short tons) in body mass.
Plantigrade foot occurs normally in humans in static postures of standing and sitting. It should also occur normally in gait (walking). Hypertonicity , spasticity , clonus , limited range of motion, abnormal flexion neural pattern, and a plantar flexor (calf) muscle contracture, as well as some forms of footwear such as high heeled shoes may ...

The genus was primarily terrestrial but at least partly cursorial, similar to a civets. [8] Didymictis had an elongated and relatively large skull with small and low braincase and a long and narrow basicranial region. The occipital and sagittal crests are very high. The limbs are of moderate length with subdigitigrade and five-toed feet.
