Yes, all of them can. The only cat in the whole Felidae (all cats) family that cannot retract their claws in the cheetah. Their claws act like cleats as traction while running. But the cheetah isn't "technically" a big cat. You see, the cat family (or Felidae) is divided into 2 sub-families, or groups within the family. Pantherinae has the big cats: the lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, snow leopard, and clouded leopard. Felinae, the other sub-family, consists of small to medium sized cats: cheetah, lynx, bobcat, ocelot, caracal, sand cat, fishing cat, domestic cat, the list goes on and on. To make matters more complicated, these sub-familes are divided further into smaller groups, called the genus level. Yes, I know I sound like a total nerd for knowing all this, but hey, I like Phylogeny. Now stay with me. In this lovely Felinae sub-family, we have several genus levels. (The one with our lovely pet cats is called the genus Felis, which also contains the sand cat, the black-footed cat, the jungle cat, and I think the Chinese desert cat.) Sorry if I'm getting off track, but the reason cheetahs cannot unsheath their claws is because they are in a genus level all for themselves, lucky cats! Its called Acinonyx, which is in FeliNae, which is in FeliDAE, the main cat group. Wow how interesting! Now if you go to Wikipedia and look up Felidae you can get yourself a whole phylogenic tree!!YES!!How exciting! I hope this answers your question! Ta-ta! :)
No, they have retractable claws like all cats, except the cheetah, whose claws are only partialy retractable.
Tigers have semi-retractable claws - they can be pulled in to some degree, but they are never completely encased in skin.
yes, they do in fact very true
Yes, they do.
White tigers use their claws and teeth to protect them selves
monkes have hands and tigers have claws.
According to my teacher Mathieu Sneddon they do in fact have retractable claws... but i do not think so because i have been attacked and they did not indeed retract. I still won though the lion had no chance!
A tiger's paw has soft pads, which allow tigers to stalk their prey as quietly as possible. They have five retractable claws, on their front paws, which are very sharp and are used for attacking prey or occasionally other tigers. Their hind feet only have four claws, which are used mainly for defence in fights with other tigers by kicking and scratching. To see a tigers paw, see related link below..
Cheetah claws are the only claws that always show and are owned by a cat.However for other cats the claws go inside the cat's paw.
Tigers kill with their canine teeth, not with the claws, like all cats.
saber tooth tigers claws are very big they were used for hunting
teeth and claws
monkes have hands and tigers have claws.
no it is not. Claws are what lions have. Tigers and bears etc.
Tigers have retractable claws just like a house cat. This helps them keep their claws sharp.
yes
No, Lions like most other wild cats and even our house cats have retractable claws. Cheetahs are the only cats with semi-retractable claws and they also lack claw sheaths making the claws appear to be sticking out more. A few other cats like the Fishing Cat has retractable claws but lack the claw sheath, so it may look as if the claws are always out...
Poachers kill tigers for their claws, large canine teeth and skin.
They have 20 claws
Of course. It's all claws and teeth, man.
they use their teeth and their claws
