    Claws are primarily used for digging and scratching. Claws are found on
    mammals, reptiles, and song birds. Talons' primary uses are grabbing
    food, wrapping around a limb for balance while sitting, and for
    protection- they could be used as a weapon, if needed. Talons are found
    on birds of prey.

    Students used a venn diagram to show the relationship between claws and
    talons. Talons are a very special kind of claw, but claws are not a
    special type of talon. So, all talons are claws, but not all claws are
    talons.
