The paws of a cheetah are uniquely adapted for speed and hunting. Here's some information about them:

Key Features of Cheetah Paws:

Non-retractile claws: Unlike most cats, cheetahs have semi-retractile claws, meaning they are always partially extended. This is similar to dogs and provides extra grip for traction when running at high speeds. The claws act like cleats, digging into the ground for better grip during acceleration and turns.
Rough paw pads: Cheetah paw pads are hard and rough, further enhancing grip on the ground, especially at high speeds. The ridges on the pads increase friction.
Smaller paws compared to body size: Compared to other big cats, cheetahs have relatively smaller and narrower paws. This reduces weight and helps with agility and speed.
Dewclaw: The dewclaw (the claw on the inside of the paw, higher up the leg) is more prominent and has a sharper claw in cheetahs. This dewclaw is particularly useful for gripping prey during takedowns.
Adaptations for speed: All these features – non-retractile claws, rough pads, and smaller paws – are evolutionary adaptations that contribute to the cheetah's incredible speed and agility, making them the fastest land animal.

If you are interested in a 3D model, description and keywords for Cheetah Paws, I can prepare those in multiple languages, similar to the previous models. Would you like me to proceed with generating those for you?
