What is keratin and some of its uses?
Keratin is a fibrous, structural protein found in birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians. Hair, horns, nails, claws, beaks, turtle shells, feathers and hoofs are all made from different types of keratins. It is a useful protein because it is easily made by the body and is quite versatile. It can form the soft, insulating coat of a sheep and also the tough, hard horn of a rhinoceros. Human fingernails are also made of a type of keratin and serve as a layer of protection to the sensitive nerve endings at the tips of our fingers.

There are many birds that eat other birds, Most of them lie in a group called Raptors. Raptors are predatory birds such as Falcons, owls, Eagles and vultures. They have sharp talons (nails), downward beaks and specialized feathers that help the bird to swoop down quietly, grab the small mammal/bird and secure it in its beak. Be careful of raptors for they may harm you as they may see you as a threat.
