    By J. Arthur Thomson.

    he newly hatched bird has claws on its thumb and first finger, enabling it to dexterously climb tree branches until its wings are strong enough for sustained flight.

    These claws disappear by the time the bird reaches adulthood.

    The Hoatzin is a bird that lives in the Amazon.

    As the Academy's collection manager for ornithology explains, its nestlings have an ancient connection to Archaeopteryx and dinosaurs.

    It has a claw on each wing.

    All birds have the genes to grow this claw, but, with the exception of the Hoatzin, they lose it while developing in the egg.
