Is there a tag or term for furry legs? Like the bent shape type?
It would help a lot with my searches

To help you remember which is which:

  • "Digit" as in "fingers and toes", since digitigrade stances stand on their toes.
  • "Plan" as in "plane" as in "flat", since plantigrade stances have their soles flat on the ground.

And "grade" comes from "gradus", Latin for "steps". Not relevant for helping you remember, but while I'm spouting off etymologies, might as well finish.
