Beaks are covered with a sheath of keratin, which grows continuously.<br /> <br /> The term also refers to a similar mouthpart in some [[cephalopod]]s, [[cetacean]]s, pufferfish, [[turtle]]s, Anuran tadpoles, and sirens. Some [[dragon]]s and [[dinosaur]]s have also been portrayed as having them.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> <br /> *[[W:Beak|Beak]] on [[Wikipedia]]<br /> *[[W:Rostrum_(anatomy)|Rostrum]] on Wikipedia<br /> <br /> {{term-stub}}<br /> <br /> {{Anatomy}}<br /> [[Category:Anatomy terms]]<br /> [[ru:Клюв]]</div>
