Can anyone tell me the meaning of "claws" and "paws", refering to animal parts. In Spanish please!!!!!

Claw es zarpa o garra, paw es la parte mullidita de la pata de los animales, no encuentro absolutamente ninguna palabra en espa�ol para definirlo, a lo mejor hay alg�n t�rmino t�cnico, pero a mi no me sale ahora mismo.

I agree! Bruce �s example in english was great. Claws= garras. Paws= lo que tienen bajo sus patitas, no se la traducci�n exacta, pero recuerdo que cuando era muy chica mi abuela me decia que los perros, gatos, etc tienen "botitas" para poder caminar. Se referia a las claws. Saludos! Stephi n
