Challenge Question: What's the difference between claws and talons?
The talons are strong and sharp. Claws are sharp too, but they can't
carry things. So a cat carries things with its mouth, and an eagle
carries things and food with its talons. Talons are much bigger than
claws. Animals with claws use their teeth to tear food a part, and eagles
use their talons to tear food a part. Also the talons are much stronger
than claws because eagles carry their food to their high-up nests, using
their talons.
