oh yes, there will be claws

do you know an animal that does have retractable claws?

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great fact , I had to think a few seconds - the Cat family have retractable claws - from our domesticated cat to the majestic Lion ( I am not sure if ALL the cat family have this -- food for thought and perhaps investigate !! )

[Babs]

They need sharp claws when hanging around in trees fast asleep.

[Sharon Lee]

Nice capture of hands and feet

[Gosia]

Good for a scratch

[Mags]

The better to hang on and scratch an itch. =)

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Goodness, I would not want to come into contact with the claws!

[Chris Cook]

Interesting fact, great photo.

[Diana]

Another fabulous close up and details.

[Dixie Goode]

You haven’t shown up on my news feed so this was the first one I saw. I need to catch up

[LManning (Laura)]

This shot really shows those impressive claws!

[Shutterbug]

That shot really does show off how long and sharp they are.

[Anne Pancella]

Really enjoying this educational series.

[Poppo Livy]

Would not be much fun picking your nose

[Esther Rosenberg]

Great capture of the claws.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

And they need them! You don't want to be falling out of those trees when you're as high up as they go.

[Sand Lily]

That certainly is necessary if they are going to sleep in a tree.

My cats have all been able to retract their claws but don’t always do it!

Great shot. Another interesting fact.

[Desi]

Wow. Another fascinating fact and great shot. Those long, non retractable claws look quite vulnerable. Do they ever get them hooked in a branch, or tear one off?
