Milnesium Almatyense
''Milnesium almatyense'' is a species of Eutardigrades in the family Milnesiidae. This species differs from its cogenerate species mainly by proportions of its claw A claw is a curved, pointed appendage found at the end of a toe or finger in most amniotes (mammals, reptiles, birds). Some invertebrates such as beetles and spiders have somewhat similar fine, hooked structures at the end of the leg or Arthro ...s and buccopharyngeal apparatus.

Eutardigrade
Eutardigrada are a class of tardigrades (Tardigrada) without lateral appendages. Primarily freshwater bound, some species have secondarily gained the ability to live in marine environments ('' Halobiotus''). By cryptobiosis many species are able to live temporarily in very dry environments. More than 700 species have been described. The order Apochela consists of only one family, Milnesiidae, with two genera: '' Milnesium'' and '' Limmenius''. ''Milnesium tardigradum'' can be found worldwide and is one of the biggest species among tardigrades (up to 1.4 mm); similar-looking species have been found in Cretaceous amber. The mouth of this predator has a wide opening, so the animal can eat rotifers and larger protist A protist ( ) or protoctist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, land plant, or fungus. Protists do not form a natural group, or clade, but are a paraphyletic grouping of all descendants of the last eukaryotic common ancest ...s. Other eu ...

Milnesiidae
Milnesiidae is a Family (biology), family of tardigrades of the class Eutardigrada. It is the sole family in the Order (biology), order Apochela. In 2019, Noemi Guil and colleagues proposed to promote the order Apochela to the new Class (biology), class Apotardigrada. Genera The family consists of the following genera: * ''Bergtrollus'' Dastych, 2011 * ''Limmenius'' Horning, Schuster & Grigarick, 1978 * ''Milnesioides'' Claxton, 1999 * ''Milnesium'' Louis Michel François Doyère, Doyère, 1840 References External links * Tardigrade families Apochela {{Tardigrade-stub ...

Claw
A claw is a curved, pointed appendage found at the end of a toe or finger in most amniotes (mammals, reptiles, birds). Some invertebrates such as beetles and spiders have somewhat similar fine, hooked structures at the end of the leg or Arthropod leg, tarsus for gripping a surface as they walk. The pincers of crabs, lobsters and scorpions, more formally known as their chelae, are sometimes called claws. A true claw is made of a hard protein called keratin. Claws are used to catch and hold prey in carnivorous mammals such as cats and dogs, but may also be used for such purposes as digging, climbing trees, self-defense and Personal grooming, grooming, in those and other species. Similar appendages that are flat and do not come to a sharp point are called nail (anatomy), nails instead. Claw-like projections that do not form at the end of digits but spring from other parts of the foot are properly named Spur (zoology), spurs. Tetrapods In tetrapods, claws are made of keratin and ...
