A claw is a curved pointed growth
found at the end of a toe or finger, or in arthropods, of the
tarsus.
Every so often, the growth of claws stops and restarts, as does
hair. In hair, this results in the hair falling out and being
replaced by a new one; in claws, this results in an abscission layer
and the old segment breaks off. This process takes several months
for human thumbnails; cats are often seen working old unguis layers
off on wood or on boards made for the purpose. The hooves wear or
self-trim by ground contact; domesticated equids (horses, donkeys
and mules) usually need regular trimming by a farrier, as a
consequence of reduced activity on hard ground.
Many predatory mammals have retractile (retractable) claws that can
partially hide inside the animal's paw.
As a Pipe: Simply put, because it
affords a unique smoking experience. Meerschaum is the most
flavorful and beautiful pipe you can own. Acts as a filter,
absorbs tobacco tars and nicotine, and yields a most satisfying
smoke. Meerschaum smokes cool and dry with a
flavor unrivaled by any other pipe.
As it ages, meerschaum colors a rich
honey-brown, improving both in appearance and taste.
Meerschaum Pipes - with a minimum of
proper care - will last for a lifetime. They will not burn out as
briars do.
As a Figurine & Ornaments: Unique, art,
precious
Meerschaum - one of the most purest
substances found in nature.
