Questions
Where is the pes?
It sits in the lower limb and foot. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What does the pes connect to?
Part of: hindlimb.
Is the pes the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
