They are distributed in the Andean slopes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.[1] They are characterized by lacking webbing among the outer fingers, lacking humeral spines in adult males, and having a lobed liver covered by a transparent hepatic peritoneum.[2]

gollark: You probably should, as bad viruses are in fact bad.
gollark: Markets seem to be the best way around to allocate most resources right now, as long as they're managed reasonably. The alternatives people have seem to generally involve either centrally planning stuff, which is maybe computationally hard and has bad incentives, having some communal system and hoping people get along, which doesn't scale, or voting on things, which has the central planning issues plus exciting new ones.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Something involving lots of effort doesn't make it good. Human culture has a weird thing with effort and hard work being intrinsically good and not just good as a way to achieve other things.
gollark: You'd assume someone would have come up with some way to check.
