If you mean the spaces between their feet that make them webbed, no. Once it is torn, it's torn. However, this may not allow the duck/swan/goose to swim properly. If it's on one foot, it will cause the duck to swim in a circle. Is this duck your pet, or live in a local pond? The duck cannot feel it being torn, or even cut. Ever read "The Trumpet of the Swan?" It is a fiction book, although like all fiction books, there are some facts in it. In this book, the swan wants to play a trumpet, so Sam, his "owner" cuts around his feet. The swan recalls it as "painless". So, the simple answer to this question is: "NO". Happy Halloween! (-: if the webbing is torn you can cut it(neat) so its not frayed which will stop it tearing more ,the webbing will not grow back mind , and even a duck with one foot does not swim in a circle its a old wifes tail but all over the web it says they do, i have had a one legged duck and shock it swim in a straight line loss off webbing will make the duck swim slower

What animals have webbed feet?

The platypus has webbed feet to help it when it swims. It has retractable webbing between the claws on its front legs and hind legs. The claws are needed for when the platypus digs its burrow, but the webbing would be torn by the digging; hence it is retractable. Similarly, because the sea otter and beaver are semi-aquatic mammals, they also have webbed feet. Many waterbirds, such as ducks, geese, swans, pelicans, storks and a variety of waterfowl have webbed feet.


What animal has 8 legs and small?

If the animal is furry & warm blooded, with 4 legs & a tail, I'd call it a Mammal (Mammals give Milk). If it has scales, like a Lizard or Alligator or a hard shell, like a Turtle, I'd classify them as Reptiles or reptilian. (Reptiles can be born alive and ready to go or like a Turtle or some snakes, lay eggs)
