Digitigrade with non-retractable claws
1
0
Like all other felines, the cheetah is a digitigrade which means that it walks by pressing on its fingers and that the sole of its feet does not rest on the ground. On the other hand, it is one of the rare felines to have non retractile claws. They enable it to grip on the ground more easily, especially when it turns, but they may wear quickly.
