Which is the only member of the cat family that cannot retract its claws?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Cheetah
💡 Explanation:
Cheetahs are the only felids with semi-retractable claws that remain partially extended at all times, an adaptation that provides superior traction during high-speed pursuits. Other cats like panthers, tigers, and lions can fully retract their claws into protective sheaths when not in use.
