Unnecessary Comma

Hi! I saw this on a website. That comma after strong is unneccesary isn't it? Thanks, Fulvio

"Koalas are found in the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. They have grey fur with a cream-coloured chest, and strong, clawed feet, perfect for living in the branches of trees!"

  

Top answer

If you imagine that its feet are separately both strong and clawed then the comma is correct. If you imagine that its clawed feet are strong then the comma can be omitted.
