Lions protract their claws by retracting the muscles and tendons that hold the claws in a retracted position. When they want to extend their claws, they relax these muscles, allowing the claws to slide out of their sheaths. This mechanism helps them maintain sharp claws for hunting and climbing, as well as providing traction while running. The ability to retract their claws also helps prevent wear when they are walking or resting.
