Cheetah Front Claw
KO-069 $12.00

The fastest terrestrial mammal, cheetahs overtake and trip their prey in short bursts of speed reaching over 60 mph, but they are sprinters only. After about 10-20 seconds at high speed, they will begin to overheat and tire. The cheetah's claws, adapted for speed, are unique among large cats. Blunt, with little curvature, and only partially retractable, the claws help the cheetah retain traction during the chase. This cheetah front claw is smaller and less curved than its dew claw. The dew claw, KO-066, a vestigial elevated first toe used to trip fleeing prey, inspired the cheetah's scientific name Acinonyx - from the Greek words for thorn, akaina, and claw.

Each Bone Clones® replica claw and talon, produced to our exacting standards, captures the textural detail and matches the subtle coloration of the originals.
