eli5 Why do human fingernails grow so long?
In: 0
It’s not just human fingernails. The nails of most animals just keep growing. The difference is that animals constantly use their nails (walking, climbing, eating, killing etc.) Which wears them down.
Inactive pets often grow too long nails, which can be a health issue. Inactive wild animals don’t really live long enough to grow their nails.
