Like the camel, many animals that live in soft sandy areas have large wide feet compared to their body size. The

large feet are an advantage in these environments because they -
are rapidly toughened by sharp sand grains
distribute body weight over a large area
allow rapid digging in the sand
Dreduce the vibrations caused by walking

Answer:

distribute body weight over a large area

Step-by-step explanation:

This one's fairly simple. If you have large feet, then your body weight is distributed over a large area (you don't sink as much in sand). If your toes were small, massive body weight would sink the feet into sand.
