Some clawed animals have claws that are fixed, and others (like domestic cats) can retract them into positions between their toes.

Why there is a small hole on the barrel of a nonretractable ball point pen?

Excellent question. Its there to allow air to enter the interior of the pen while the ink flows out. This ensures a smoothe and even flow of the liquid ink. It works on the same principal as why we poke two holes in a can of oil or juice. As the liquid flows out, the air flows in to replace the volume. Without this you get that gurgle that an inverted water bottle makes as it dispenses a cup of water. This hole also allows for the passage of air to flow out as the ink will expand a little when placed in sunlight or in a pocket. This prevents the ink from being pressured out the ball point end.


What are the special body parts of a cheethas?

A cheetah is built for running down its prey at high speed; its body is specialized for high-speed pursuit. Its body is long, lean, light and aerodynamic, like the chassis of a race car. It has long legs that can disconnect from the hip or shoulder sockets, allowing the cat to maximize its stride. Its long tail acts as a rudder to help it corner during a high-speed chase. Perhaps most interesting of all, its claws are nonretractable, unlike the claws of other cats. These claws act like the spikes in track shoes, allowing for maximum traction.
