pata
an animal's foot that typically has a combination of nails, claws, fur, and pads
A paw is a structure found in various animals that is typically located at the end of the leg and used for walking, running, and other forms of locomotion. It is composed of a combination of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue, and its specific shape and size vary depending on the species. Paws typically include pads or claws that help animals grip the ground, climb trees or burrow into the soil. They also contain sensory receptors that allow animals to feel the texture and temperature of the surfaces they walk on. Some animals have specialized paws that have evolved for specific functions such as digging, swimming, or grasping prey.
cuerno
a hard, pointed, often curved structure found on the head of some animals, such as cows, goats, and sheep, made of keratin or bone, used for defense, display, or digging
Horn refers to a hard, pointed, and often curved growth that extends from the head of certain animals, such as cattle, goats, and rhinoceroses. It is composed of a tough protein called keratin and serves various purposes depending on the species. Horns can be used for defense against predators, as a symbol of dominance and territoriality, for ritualistic or decorative purposes, or even as a sound-producing instrument. Unlike antlers, which are shed and regrown annually, horns are usually permanent structures that continue to grow throughout the animal's life. They are an iconic feature of many species and play a significant role in their biology and behavior.
bigote
any of the long, stiff hairs that grow on the face of a cat, mouse, etc.
Whiskers, also known as vibrissae, are specialized hairs that grow on the face and other parts of the body of certain mammals, including cats, dogs, and seals. These sensory hairs are thicker than the other hairs on the body and are deeply embedded in hair follicles surrounded by blood vessels and nerves. Whiskers are used by animals to sense their environment by detecting even the slightest movement, air currents, and vibrations in the surrounding space. They help animals navigate in the dark, detect prey, and avoid predators. Whiskers are particularly important for nocturnal animals, who rely on their sense of touch to find their way around. Some animals can even move their whiskers independently to improve their perception of their surroundings.
(diente)
colmillo
one of the two long and sharp teeth that some animals such as dogs, wolfs, or snakes have
cola
the part of the body of an animal, a bird or a fish that sticks out at the back, which can move
Información Gramatical:
casco
the horny and hard part at the end of a limb of a mammal, such as a horse
The hoof is a tough and hard outer covering found on the lower extremities of certain animals, particularly ungulates like horses, cows, and deer. It serves as a protective structure and supports the weight of the animal, allowing for locomotion and stability on various terrains. The hoof is composed of a dense keratinized material, similar to human nails, and is divided into distinct parts, including the wall, sole, and frog. The hoof plays a vital role in the animal's movement, enabling it to graze, run, and navigate its environment effectively. Regular hoof care and maintenance are essential for the overall health and well-being of the animal.
colmillo
each of the curved pointy teeth of some animals such as elephants, boars, etc., especially one that stands out from the closed mouth
A tusk is a long, pointed, and often curved tooth that protrudes from the mouth of certain animals, most notably elephants, walruses, and narwhals. These elongated teeth are typically made of ivory, a dense and durable material. Tusks serve various purposes depending on the species. They can be used for defense, digging, gathering food, or as a display of dominance during mating rituals. The size and shape of tusks can vary greatly between species and even individuals, with some reaching impressive lengths. Tusks are iconic features of these animals and hold cultural and historical significance.
pata
the lower part of the leg of an animal between the knee and the ankle
the shank refers to the lower part of the leg, specifically the portion between the knee and the ankle. It includes the tibia and fibula, which are the two long bones that form the lower leg. The shank plays a crucial role in weight-bearing, stability, and locomotion, allowing for walking, running, and other lower-limb movements. Understanding the anatomy and function of the shank is important for overall lower limb strength, balance, and mobility.
hocico
the projecting part of the face of some animals such as dogs and horses that includes their jaws and noses
