From David Attenborough Fans

This set of 31 claws and talons allowS you to compare their size and appreciate the functional differences connected to the different behaviors in hunting and eating.

The GHO and Barn Owl are in the top row.

Are there any surprises for you in getting to compare them?

Pound for pound, the raptors have some pretty big pokey bits.

      Skulls Unlimited, fine purveyor of real and replica bones, lists domestic cat claws as average 0.5 in / 1.2 cm and bobcat as average 1 in / 2.5 cm.

      All I could find on bunnies is that they should be trimmed when they get past the edge of the paw fur. They also seem to be more of a wear item due to the digging, so there is probably a wider range of sizes.

          From experience, they still hurt well enough, and are much more of a practical concern for most people than many of the other critters in the sample.

      Coyote looks close to a dog, they’re basically the same size.

      Edit: you’re also more likely to interact with dogs’ claws, as you trim them. I don’t think I’d even try trimming a cat. You also trim rabbit claws, would be nice to see those for comparison too
