Question

what animal is fast and agile and attacks with its claws? other than cats or cat-like animals?

Answer 1

Look to the Birds of Prey.

The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest, diving at 200+ miles per hour, snatching birds in flight with their talons.

Answer 2

I think the pistol shrimp has those qualities.

Answer 3

Sloths (yes interesting huh)

Anteaters

Eagles, predatory birds

Canines such as wolves may, but they primarily use their teeth. Their claws may be used to just hold on to prey or enemies.

Bears

Kangaroos also have claws on ther hind legs, so that when they kick their claws can posibly rip a person open.

Answer 4

Cats are a good example. Dogs don' really attack with their claws - their claws are blunt andd used for gripping so they can run fast (that's why a dog's claws are unretractable). They attack with their strong legs and teeth, depending on a species.

Birds of prey are mmy favourite example. The defining element of a raptor is the ability to kill with its feet - excluding vultures. They are fast and agile - the fastest of all being the falcons - and have an extremely strong grip in their claws. The grip is stronger than any mammal's bite. Golden eagles, for example, can crush a wolf's skull in their claws. The Mongols used to hunt wolves with eagles. They are so powerful.

If you need convincing, spend some time watching a hobby (or a video of one) - Falco subbuteo. They are fast and agile, and they catch little insects and things with their claws.
