I have been researching Teeth and claws a bit...
And have come to find that both can be envenomed.
Some claws (centipedes and spiders) are right at the mouth area.
So my question 1:
What is the difference? Is it merely a matter of location: Fangs are Inside the mouth of the animal and claws are anything outside that region.. .
And even if that is the case, if someone found a fang like/claw like piece of an animal.
How do they distinguish between the two?
Question 2:
Is there a branch of zoology that focuses on the study of Fangs/claws (especially envenomed verity)? I would like to follow up on this research.
