 canines, and molars ; the toes are free, terminated 

 by claws, but the thumb is no longer opposible to 

 the others. They subsist on animal food, more or 

 less exclusively. Those which have the molar teeth 

 studded with tubercles, as some of the Bats, feed on 

 fruits principally ; those in which they are armed
