Platypuses have feet with retractable webbing. They have webbed feet which help when they are swimming, but their unique design is such that the webbing membrane can be retracted when the platypus needs to dig. As the webbing retracts, the sharp claws are exposed, and the delicate webbing is not damaged by the digging action.
