A kangaroo's claws vary in length from species to species. In general, they range from a few millimetres to about a centimentre for the forelegs, with the central claw of the larger species' hind legs being as long as 4-5 cm in length.
Kangaroos have paws. They are sometimes used to grasp food, and they also provide balance for when a kangaroo moves at a slow, four-legged walk, instead of its usual hopping motion.
not necessarily, but both do have very sharp claws. Kangaroos have long nails on their forepaws and hind feet. Kangaroos will use the long, sharp nails on their hind feet as defence. The koala's nails are shorter, but curved, strong and very sharp. these claws can inflict some serious wounds on attacking animals, whilst they are also sharp enough to enable a koala to climb the smooth trunk of a very tall gum tree in a matter of seconds.
Not at all. Red kangaroos balance back on their strong tail, and use their powerful hind legs, which have sharp claws on them, to kick when then they fight. Human have neither a tail, nor sharp claws on powerful hind legs.
Kangaroos have very sharp claws on their hind legs which are sharp enough to disembowel a predator.
A meerkats claws are 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) long.
the giant anteaters claws are four inches long.
When fully extended, Wolverine's claws are a foot long.
Snapping turtles have long tails and claws
Sloths can have claws that are around 3 to 4 inches long. These claws are used for climbing and hanging from trees, as well as for self-defense.
Their paws can be 8 inches wide and their claws can be 6 inches long!
Kangaroos rely on their speed and endurance to escape from predators. They are capable of maintaining a steady bounding pace for long periods of time. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding. When threatened by other mammals, kangaroos have been known to "box" using their front claws, but they can also balance on their heavy tails and deliver a strong kick with their powerful hind legs, which are equipped with sharp claws.
Their feet are long so they can jump
