They can also, because of the split toes, pick up objects with their feet as well as their hands. It’s a marvel to see them bound across the roof of Mr McGregor’s Cottage in what appear to be little more than bedroom slippers. It’s clear that the Japanese worker feels safer in this footwear- the trade-off for greater vulnerability to falling objects is their greater sure-footedness. If I were on a roof, I know which I’d choose. Come to think of it, I’ve heard they’re very popular with gardeners, so I must buy a pair, even though its unlikely that I’ll ever need to pick anything up with my toes.
