"Unguibus et rostro" is a Latin phrase that translates to "with claws and beak." It is often used to describe creatures, particularly birds or reptiles, that possess sharp claws and beaks as adaptations for hunting, feeding, or defense. The phrase can also metaphorically refer to someone who is fierce or aggressive in their actions.

What is the origin of the idiom Tooth and nail?
We may not know the origin with any certainty, but it's a very old idea. The French say one fights with "bec et ongles" (beak and talons), and they apparently got the idea from the Latin phrase "unguibus et rostro." The Latin survives as the motto of the old Roman town (now in France) of Valence in Drome. In Latin, there's the idea of fighting with the entire body and every nail ("toto corpore atque omnibus ungulis"), which is credited to Cicero. Interestingly, "red in tooth and claw" is a more recent development, coming from a poem by Tennyson. Apparently "tooth and claw" was already in common use and may be related to "tooth and nail."
