fun fact its called thier cannon bone. early horses had 4-5 fingers.
What if instead of five toes our feet would just have one massive toe with one big toe nail?

For some reason this makes a lot of sense.
I wish our teeth were like that, just one big curved tooth on top and one on bottom so you don't get stuff stick between the cracks
Something like this?
No
kinda more like all the fingers merged into one innit?
posts picture of hand with all the fingers merging into one big finger
Actually, it really is just a single metacarpal bone. The others are the red square bones you see up top, they are vestigial at this point. Like how whales have legs, we just can't see them

There was an illustrator that did these a while back. 
Annoyingly I can’t find it on what I think is their website since it’s in Japanese. If you do a search for Satoshi Kawasaki it should pop up though.
