Re: It's the Wednesday Quiz - 23 Feb '11


Yes, The cheetah's paws have semi-retractable claws (known only in three other cat species: the fishing cat, the flat-headed cat and the Iriomote cat), offering extra grip in its high-speed pursuits. The ligament structure of the cheetah's claws is the same as those of other cats; it simply lacks the sheath of skin and fur present in other varieties, and therefore the claws are always visible, with the exception of the dewclaw. The dewclaw itself is much shorter and straighter than that of other cats

i used to go through agonies when we had to give talks at school. I once gave a talk on stone burial mounds and the model i'd made fell to bits
