What is a "paw"?

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.
